State Senator Sue Rezin | Illinois General Assembly
Legislation aimed at reducing burdens on local motorcycle dealerships and addressing costly manufacturer mandates has been signed into law.
House Bill 4925 amends the Motor Vehicle Franchise Act to prevent vehicle manufacturers, distributors, or wholesalers from requiring motorcycle dealers to make costly improvements to their facilities.
The law is designed to protect smaller dealers from incurring significant expenses due to mandates from manufacturers, easing the financial pressure on small businesses in Illinois. Additionally, the legislation ensures that aspects of the manufacturer-dealer relationship are not contingent on the dealer complying with potentially unreasonable demands from manufacturers.
This new law, which supports the competitiveness of motorcycle dealers and their ability to serve the people of Illinois, was signed into law on August 9 and takes effect immediately.
