MN SF4191

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 80E.13 to clarify that manufacturers, distributors, and factory branches cannot engage in unfair practices directly or through controlled entities.

Adds language stating manufacturers cannot require dealers to pay extra fees, remodel facilities, or establish exclusive facilities as prerequisites to receiving alternative fuel vehicle models, though they may impose reasonable requirements for selling and servicing alternative fuel vehicles.

Modifies the provision on failing to offer all models to clarify that alternative fuel vehicles are included in the requirement, not excluded from it.

Establishes that dealers can file civil actions without proving injury if manufacturers fail to disclose sales volume formulas and performance calculations upon written request.

Adds protections preventing manufacturers from charging back payments or denying allocations due to unreasonable delays by state registrars in vehicle registration, with this provision expiring June 30, 2022.
