FL S1678

Dealers who construct or alter sales/service facilities in reliance on a manufacturer's program or incentive are deemed in full compliance with facility requirements for 10 years after completion.

If a manufacturer revises or establishes a new program during the 10-year period, dealers who completed facilities under the prior program may retain all prior benefits plus any increases, but are not eligible for new program benefits if they decline to comply with new requirements.

Manufacturers are prohibited from establishing performance measurement criteria for dealers that are unfair, unreasonable, arbitrary, inequitable, or fail to include relevant local and regional data; manufacturers must provide written details on how performance criteria were designed and applied upon dealer request.

Manufacturers cannot deny or suspend dealer licenses for establishing performance measurement criteria with material or adverse effects on dealers unless they meet specified fairness standards and include statistically significant survey data if applicable.
