What changed in the latest version
4 added · 4 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of Bill H 3777 now specifies that a manufacturing factory or assembly plant must be located within the state to sell directly to consumers if it has never had dealer franchise agreements. This change is important because it ensures that only local manufacturers can take advantage of this direct selling opportunity, which could strengthen the state's economy and increase consumer options within the local market.
