(1) fail to pay a claim made by a dealer for compensation for:

(A) delivery and preparation work;

(B) warranty work; and

(C) incentive payments;

not later than thirty (30) days after the claim is approved;

(2) fail to approve or disapprove a claim not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the claim; or

(3) disapprove a claim without notice to the dealer in writing of the grounds for disapproval.

(b) A manufacturer or distributor may:

(1) audit a claim made by a dealer; or

(2) charge back to a dealer any amounts paid on a:

(A) false or fraudulent claim;

(B) claim in which repairs were not properly made;

(C) claim involving work that was not necessary to correct a defective condition; or

(D) claim that the dealer failed to substantiate in accordance with the manufacturer's written procedures or other reasonable means;

for up to twelve (12) months after the date on which the claim is paid. However, the limitations of this subsection do not apply if the manufacturer or distributor can prove fraud on a claim. A manufacturer or distributor shall not discriminate among dealers with regard to auditing or charging back claims.

(c) Except as provided in subsection (d), a manufacturer or distributor may not deny a claim based solely on a motor vehicle dealer's incidental failure to comply with a specific claim processing requirement, including a clerical error or other administrative technicality that does not call into question the legitimacy of a claim when the dealer has provided reasonably sufficient documentation of the dealer's good faith attempt to perform necessary work in compliance with the written policies and procedures of the manufacturer.

(d) A manufacturer or distributor shall provide a dealer with written notification of the specific grounds upon which a claim is being charged back as a result of an audit. A manufacturer or distributor shall provide a reasonable appeals process allowing the dealer at least thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of charge back to provide additional supporting documentation or information rebutting the charge back. If the charge back is based upon noncompliance with documentation requirements, material claim submission requirements, or other material clerical errors, the manufacturer or distributor shall allow the dealer thirty (30) days from the receipt of the notice of charge back to cure any material noncompliance. A manufacturer's or distributor's audit or appeals process shall allow a dealer, the dealer's designated agent, officer, or employee to request, in writing, a meeting with the manufacturer or distributor via in-person meeting, video conference, or telephone call or a written explanation of the basis for a charge back. The manufacturer or distributor shall respond with all details and specific information supporting the basis for each charge back. The manufacturer or distributor and the dealer may agree, during the audit or appeals process, to an extension of time for the dealer to cure any material noncompliance as necessitated by the volume of the claim charge backs at issue.

(e) A motor vehicle dealer may submit an amended or supplemental claim within the time and manner required by the manufacturer for:

(1) sales incentives;

(2) service incentives;

(3) rebates; or

(4) other forms of incentive compensation;

for up to sixty (60) days from the date on which such a claim was submitted, could have been submitted, or was charged back. For purposes of this section, a failure to obtain a required signature may not be considered to be a clerical error or administrative technicality.

(f) A manufacturer or distributor shall compensate a dealer for assistance requested by a customer whose vehicle is subject to an over-the-air or a remote repair, or an update to a part, system, accessory, or function by a manufacturer or distributor that is performed at a dealership.

Status: in_force

Sec. 1. (a) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), a person may not operate or cause to be operated upon a highway a vehicle or combination of vehicles having weight in excess of one (1) or more of the following limitations:

(1) The total gross weight, with load, in pounds of any vehicle or combination of vehicles may not exceed an overall gross weight on a group of two (2) or more consecutive axles produced by application of the following formula:

W = 500 { [(LN) ÷ (N-1)] + 12N + 36 }

where W equals the overall gross weight on any group of two (2) or more consecutive axles to the nearest five hundred (500) pounds, L equals the distance in feet between the extreme of any group of two (2) or more consecutive axles, and N equals the number of axles in the group under consideration, except that two (2) consecutive sets of tandem axles may carry a gross load of thirty-four thousand (34,000) pounds each, providing the overall distance between the first and last axles of the consecutive sets of tandem axles is thirty-six (36) feet or more. The overall gross weight limit, calculated under this subdivision, may not exceed eighty thousand (80,000) pounds.

(2) The weight concentrated on the roadway surface from any tandem axle group may not exceed the following:

(A) Thirty-four thousand (34,000) pounds total weight.

(B) Twenty thousand (20,000) pounds on an individual axle in a tandem group.

(3) A vehicle may not have a maximum wheel weight, unladen or with load, in excess of eight hundred (800) pounds per inch width of tire, measured between the flanges of the rim or an axle weight in excess of twenty thousand (20,000) pounds.

(b) The enforcement of weight limits under this section is subject to the following:

(1) It is lawful to operate within the scope of a permit, under weight limitations established by the Indiana department of transportation and in effect on July 1, 1956, as provided in IC 9-20-6.

(2) It is lawful to operate or cause to be operated a vehicle or combination of vehicles on a heavy duty highway or an extra heavy duty highway designated by the Indiana department of transportation if operated within the imposed limitations.

(3) Subsection (a) does not apply to any highway, road, street, or bridge for which a lesser weight limit is imposed by local authorities under IC 9-20-1-3 or IC 9-20-7-2. However, the local authority may by appropriate action establish and designate a county or city highway, road, or street or part of a highway, road, or street as a heavy duty highway subject to the weight limitations established under IC 9-20-5.

(4) Vehicles operated on toll road facilities are subject to rules of weight adopted for toll road facilities by the Indiana department of transportation under IC 8-15-2 and are not subject to subsection (a) when operated on a toll road facility.

(6) For purposes of a vehicle that uses natural gas as a motor fuel or is powered primarily by means of electric battery power, the weight limitations provided in subsection (a) are increased by two thousand (2,000) pounds.

(c) The greater of the weight limits imposed under subsection (a) or this subsection applies to vehicles operated upon a highway. The weight limits in effect on January 4, 1975, for any highway that is not designated as a heavy duty highway under IC 9-20-5 are the following:

(1) The total gross weight, with load, in pounds of a vehicle or combination of vehicles may not exceed seventy-three thousand two hundred eighty (73,280) pounds.

(d) For purposes of this section, "auxiliary power unit" means an integrated system that:

(1) provides heat, air conditioning, engine warming, or electricity to components on a heavy duty vehicle; and
