19 Statutes, is amended to read:

7 for use on boat trailers owned by the dealer to whom such
8 plates are issued while being used in connection with such
9 dealer's business, but are not valid for use for hire.
10 2. It is the intent of the Legislature that the method
11 currently used to license marine boat trailer dealers to do
12 business in the state, that is, by an occupational license
13 issued by the city or county, not be changed. The department
14 shall not interpret this act to mean that it is empowered to
15 license such dealers to do business. An occupational license

8 vehicle dealer or a person that is subject to an unexpired
9 final order permitting the establishment of an additional
10 location or a relocation, where the location is not yet open
11 for business, will be entitled to the same notice and protest
12 rights as an existing dealer under the provisions of s.

14 or other person that is authorized to establish a location or
15 to relocate to become established at the proposed location

7 (1)(a) An applicant or licensee shall give written
8 notice to the motor vehicle dealer and the department of the
9 licensee's intention to discontinue, cancel, or fail to renew
10 a franchise agreement or of the licensee's intention to modify
11 a franchise or replace a franchise with a succeeding
12 franchise, which modification or replacement will adversely
13 alter the rights or obligations of a motor vehicle dealer
14 under an existing franchise agreement or will substantially
15 impair the sales, service obligations, or investment of the
16 motor vehicle dealer, at least 90 days before the effective
17 date thereof, together with the specific grounds for such
18 action.
19 (b) The failure by the licensee to comply with the
20 90-day notice period and procedure prescribed herein shall
21 render voidable, at the option of the motor vehicle dealer,
22 any discontinuation, cancellation, nonrenewal, modification,
23 or replacement of any franchise agreement. Designation of a
24 franchise agreement at a specific location as a "nondesignated
25 point" shall be deemed an evasion of this section and
26 constitutes an unfair cancellation.
27 (c) If the notice required in paragraph (a) is based
28 upon an alleged failure of the dealer to comply with the
29 obligations of the dealer agreement with respect to the
30 performance of sales or service obligations, the applicant or

11 procedure.--
12 (2)(a) An application for a motor vehicle dealer
13 license in any community or territory shall be denied when:
14 1. A timely protest is filed by a presently existing
15 franchised motor vehicle dealer with standing to protest as
16 defined in subsection (3); and
17 2. The licensee fails to show that the existing
18 franchised dealer or dealers who register new motor vehicle
19 retail sales or retail leases of the same line-make in the
20 community or territory of the proposed dealership are not
21 providing adequate representation of such line-make motor
22 vehicles in such community or territory as a whole and not
23 with respect to any part thereof or identifiable plot therein.

25 shall be on the licensee.

11 involved, after consideration of all factors which may affect
12 said penetration, including, but not limited to, demographic
13 factors such as age, income, education, size class preference,
14 product popularity, retail lease transactions, whether located
15 in a metropolitan or nonmetropolitan area, or other factors
16 affecting sales to consumers of the community or territory.
17 With respect to any geographic comparison area used to
18 evaluate the performance of the line-make within the community
19 or territory, the comparison area may not be smaller than an
20 entire county and may not include any geographic area located
21 outside this state. Reasonably expected market penetration
22 shall be measured with respect to the community or territory
23 as a whole and not with respect to any part thereof or
24 identifiable plot therein. In order to satisfy its burden of
25 proof under this section, the licensee must prove that any
26 deviation or shortfall in market penetration from a reasonable
27 comparison area is substantial and significant, considering
28 factors including, but not limited to, the size of the
29 community or territory and the projected sales of the proposed
30 dealership.
