HB 2305 Summary

• Amended Arizona Revised Statutes sections 28-4458 and 28-4460 to strengthen protections for new motor vehicle dealers against manufacturer coercion and unfair discrimination practices.

• Prohibited manufacturers from requiring dealers to use only manufacturer-supplied parts and accessories for used vehicle repairs outside of factory certified pre-owned programs, recalls, and warranty work.

• Clarified that manufacturers cannot control final sales prices or lease prices for vehicles without written dealer consent, which dealers may withdraw on 45 days' notice without retribution.

• Established that manufacturers cannot condition franchise approval on real property use agreements unless offering fair monetary consideration or separate valuable consideration to dealers.

• Added protections requiring manufacturers to provide or direct leads to dealers fairly and equitably based on dealer location, assigned territory, pre-existing relationships, or consumer preference, with limited exceptions for internet-based quotation programs.
