Under existing law, the Motor Vehicle Franchise Act regulates the business relationship between motor vehicle manufacturers and wholesalers and new motor vehicle dealers. The act defines unfair and deceptive trade practices to include a manufacturer or wholesaler coercing or attempting to coerce a new motor vehicle dealer to change its location or alter its dealership premises when to do so would be unreasonable.
This act would further define conditions which would be unreasonable under this provision.
