(d) Recommend to the party states changes in law or policy with emphasis on uniformity of laws and administrative rules, regulations, or codes which would promote effective governmental action or coordination in the prevention of equipment-related highway accidents or the mitigation of equipment-related highway safety problems.

ARTICLE 5

Vehicular Equipment

(a) In the interest of vehicular and public safety, the commission may study the need for or desirability of the establishment of or changes in performance requirements or restrictions for any item of equipment. As a result of such study, the commission may publish a report relating to any item or items of equipment, and the issuance of such a report shall be a condition precedent to any proceedings or other action provided or authorized by this article.

(d) The commission shall send prompt notice of its action in issuing any rule, regulation, or code pursuant to this article to the appropriate motor vehicle agency of each party state and such notice shall contain the complete text of the rule, regulation, or code.

(e) If the constitution of a party state requires, or if its statutes provide, the approval of the legislature by appropriate resolution or act may be made a condition precedent to the taking effect in such party state of any rule, regulation, or code. In such event, the commissioner of such party state shall submit any commission rule, regulation, or code to the legislature as promptly as may be in lieu of administrative acceptance or rejection thereof by the party state.

(f) Except as otherwise specifically provided in or pursuant to subdivisions (e) and (g) of this article, the appropriate motor vehicle agency of a party state shall in accordance with its constitution or procedural laws adopt the rule, regulation, or code within six (6) months of the sending of the notice, and, upon such adoption, the rule, regulation, or code shall have the force and effect of law therein.

(g) The appropriate motor vehicle agency of a party state may decline to adopt a rule, regulation, or code issued by the commission pursuant to this article if such agency specifically finds, after public hearing on due notice, that a variation from the commission's rule, regulation, or code is necessary to the public safety, and incorporates in such finding the reasons upon which it is based. Any such finding shall be subject to review by such procedure for review of administrative determinations as may be applicable pursuant to the laws of the party state. Upon request, the commission shall be furnished with a copy of the transcript of any hearings held pursuant to this subdivision.

ARTICLE 6

Finance

(a) The commission shall submit to the executive head or designated officer or officers of each party state a budget of its estimated expenditures for such period as may be required by the laws of that party state for presentation to the legislature thereof.

(b) Each of the commission's budgets of estimated expenditures shall contain specific recommendations of the amount or amounts to be appropriated by each of the party states. The total amount of appropriations under any such budget shall be apportioned among the party states as follows: one-third (1/3) in equal shares; and the remainder in proportion to the number of motor vehicles registered in each party state. In determining the number of such registrations, the commission may employ such source or sources of information as, in its judgment, present the most equitable and accurate comparisons among the party states. Each of the commission's budgets of estimated expenditures and requests for appropriations shall indicate the source or sources used in obtaining information concerning vehicular registrations.

(c) The commission shall not pledge the credit of any party state. The commission may meet any of its obligations in whole or in part with funds available to it under Article 3(h) of this compact, provided that the commission take specific action setting aside such funds prior to incurring any obligation to be met in whole or in part in such manner. Except where the commission makes use of funds available to it under Article 3(h) hereof, the commission shall not incur any obligation prior to the allotment of funds by the party states adequate to meet the same.

(d) The commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and disbursements. The receipts and disbursements of the commission shall be subject to the audit and accounting procedures established under its rules. However, all receipts and disbursements of funds handled by the commission shall be audited yearly by a qualified public accountant and the report of the audit shall be included in and become part of the annual reports of the commission.

(e) The accounts of the commission shall be open at reasonable times for inspection by duly constituted officers of the party states and by any persons authorized by the commission.

(f) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent commission compliance with laws relating to audit or inspection of accounts by or on behalf of any government contributing to the support of the commission.

ARTICLE 7

Conflict of Interest

(a) The commission shall adopt rules and regulations with respect to conflict of interest for the bureaus of the party states, and their alternates, if any, and for the staff of the commission and contractors with the commission to the end that no member or employee or contractor shall have a pecuniary or other incompatible interest in the manufacture, sale, or distribution of motor vehicles or vehicular equipment or in any facility or enterprise employed by the commission or on its behalf for testing, conduct of investigation, or research. In addition to any penalty for violation of such rules and regulations as may be applicable under the laws of the violator's jurisdiction of residence, employment, or business, any violation of a commission rule or regulation adopted pursuant to this article shall require the immediate discharge of any violating employee and the immediate vacating of membership, or relinquishing of status as a member of the commission by any bureau or alternate. In the case of a contractor, any violation of any such rule or regulation shall make any contract of the violator with the commission subject to cancellation by the commission.

(b) Nothing contained in this article shall be deemed to prevent a contractor for the commission from using any facilities subject to his control in the performance of the contract even though such facilities are not devoted solely to work of or done on behalf of the commission; nor to prevent such a contractor from receiving remuneration or profit from the use of such facilities.

ARTICLE 8

Advisory and Technical Committees

The commission may establish such advisory and technical committees as it may deem necessary, membership on which may include private citizens and public officials, and may cooperate with and use the services of any such committees and the organizations which the members represent in furthering any of its activities.

No withdrawal shall effect any liability already incurred by or chargeable to a party state prior to the time of such withdrawal.

ARTICLE 10

Construction and Severability

This compact shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate the purposes thereof. The provisions of this compact shall be severable and if any phrase, clause, sentence, or provision of this compact is declared to be contrary to the Constitution of any state or of the United States or the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person, or circumstance is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this compact and the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person, or circumstance shall not be affected thereby. If this compact shall be held contrary to the constitution of any state participating herein, the compact shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining party states and in full force and effect as to the state affected as to all severable matters.

Compensation for warranty services
Status: in_force

Sec. 15.5. (a) This section does not apply to manufacturers or distributors of manufactured housing, heavy duty vocational vehicles (as defined in 49 CFR 523.8), or recreational vehicles.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed, it is an unfair practice for a manufacturer or distributor to fail to compensate a dealer anything less than the dealer's retail rates for parts or labor the dealer uses in performing the warranty services of the manufacturer or distributor, or for a manufacturer or distributor of a separate vehicle component or major vehicle assembly that is warranted independently of the motor vehicle to fail to compensate a dealer anything less than the dealer's retail rate for the parts or labor the dealer uses in performing the warranty services of the manufacturer or distributor. The dealer's retail rate for parts must be a percentage determined by dividing the total charges for parts used in warranty like repairs by the dealer's total cost for those parts minus one (1) in the lesser of one hundred (100) customer paid sequential repair orders or ninety (90) consecutive days of customer paid repair orders. The dealer's retail rate for labor shall be determined by dividing the total labor sales for warranty like repairs by the number of hours that generated those sales in one hundred (100) customer paid sequential repair orders or ninety (90) consecutive days of customer paid repair orders. A retail rate may be calculated based upon only customer paid repair orders charged within one hundred eighty (180) days before the date the dealer submits the declaration.

(c) The dealer's submission for retail rates must include a declaration of the dealer's retail rates for parts or labor along with the supporting service repair orders paid by customers. A manufacturer or distributor may challenge the dealer's declaration by submitting a rebuttal not later than sixty (60) days after the date the declaration was received. If the manufacturer or distributor does not send a timely rebuttal to the dealer, the retail rate is established as reasonable and goes into effect automatically.

(d) If a rebuttal in subsection (c) is timely sent, the rebuttal must substantiate how the dealer's declaration is unreasonable or materially inaccurate. The rebuttal must propose an adjusted retail rate and provide written support for the proposed adjustments. If the dealer does not agree with the adjusted retail rate, the dealer may file a complaint with the dealer services division within the office of the secretary of state.

(e) A complaint filed under subsection (d) must be filed not later than thirty (30) days after the dealer receives the manufacturer's or distributor's rebuttal.

(f) When calculating the retail rate customarily charged by the dealer for parts or labor under this section, the following work may not be included:

(1) Repairs for manufacturer or distributor special events, specials, or promotional discounts for retail customer repairs.

(2) Parts sold or repairs performed at wholesale.

(3) Routine maintenance not covered under a retail customer warranty, such as fluids, filters, and belts not provided in the course of repairs.

(4) Nuts, bolts, fasteners, and similar items that do not have an individual part number.

(5) Vehicle reconditioning.

(6) Accessories.

(7) Repairs of damage caused by a collision, a road hazard, the force of the elements, vandalism, or theft.

(8) Vehicle emission or safety inspections required by law.

(9) Manufacturer or distributor reimbursed goodwill or policy repairs or replacements.

(10) Replacement of tires.

(g) If a manufacturer or distributor furnishes a part or component to a dealer at no cost to use in performing repairs under a recall, campaign service, or warranty repair, the manufacturer or distributor shall compensate the dealer for the part or component in the same manner as warranty parts compensation under this section by compensating the dealer the average markup on the cost for the part or component as listed in the manufacturer's or distributor's initial or original price schedule minus the cost for the part or component.

(h) A manufacturer or distributor may not require a dealer to establish the retail rate customarily charged by the dealer for parts or labor by an unduly burdensome or time consuming method or by requiring information that is unduly burdensome or time consuming to provide, including part by part or transaction by transaction calculations. A dealer may not declare an average percentage parts markup or average labor rate more than once in a twelve (12) month period. A manufacturer or distributor may perform annual audits to verify that a dealer's effective rates have not decreased. If a dealer's effective rates have decreased, a manufacturer or distributor may reduce the warranty reimbursement rate prospectively. A dealer may elect to revert to the nonretail rate reimbursement for parts or labor not more than once in a twelve (12) month period.

(i) A manufacturer or distributor may not impose a surcharge on a dealer for the purpose of recovering any of its costs related to the reimbursement of a dealer for parts or labor required under this section. This subsection does not prohibit a manufacturer or distributor from increasing the wholesale price of a vehicle or part in the ordinary course of business.

(j) If a dealer files a complaint with the dealer services division within the office of the secretary of state, the warranty reimbursement rate in effect before any mediation or complaint remains in effect until thirty (30) days after:

(1) a final decision has been issued by a court with jurisdiction; and

(2) all appeals have been exhausted.

(a) Notwithstanding any other law and except as provided in section 8 of this chapter, a law enforcement officer has all police powers necessary to enforce the laws of the state for the regulation and use of vehicles on the private roads within the subdivision governed by the homeowners association. However, with the exception of the maximum speed limit and stop requirements established by the board of the homeowners association under sections 5 and 6 of this chapter, a law enforcement officer may not enforce other rules or requirements established by the homeowners association.

(b) Subject to subsections (c) and (d), the homeowners association may enter into an agreement with or employ an off duty law enforcement officer to enforce the laws of the state for the regulation and use of a vehicle as described in subsection (a). The law enforcement officer must wear a distinctive uniform or must operate a motor vehicle that is clearly marked as a police vehicle when exercising the officer's authority under this chapter.

(c) The homeowner's association must submit proof of the appropriate liability insurance with each applicable sheriff and chief of police prior to entering into an agreement with or employing an off duty law enforcement officer.

However, the homeowners association is not subject to the indemnification requirements for willful or wanton misconduct by the law enforcement officer. Indemnification does not apply to a law enforcement officer acting within the scope of the law enforcement officer's scope of employment with the law enforcement agency that employs the law enforcement officer.

(e) Subsection (d) may not be construed to prohibit a law enforcement agency's ability to regulate the off duty employment of a law enforcement officer employed by the law enforcement agency or otherwise approve or deny off duty employment of a law enforcement officer described in subsection (b).
