FL S0832

Revises definitions in Florida's motor vehicle sales law, including new definitions for "affiliated finance company," "automotive-related product," "third-party provider," and "vehicle contract."

Prohibits affiliated finance companies from refusing to purchase or accept assignment of vehicle contracts, or charging additional fees, solely because the contract contains a third-party provider's automotive-related product that is similar in nature, scope, and quality to the affiliated company's own product.

Establishes factors for determining product similarity, including the third-party provider's financial capacity and compliance history with state and federal regulations.

Specifies that violations do not constitute criminal offenses under section 545.12.

Deletes the definition of "motor vehicle broker" from section 320.27 and makes technical conforming amendments; effective July 1, 2014.
