A. This section shall only apply to single-line dealer agreements. B. If a dealer dies, a supplier shall have ninety (90) days in which to consider and make a determination on a request by a family member to enter into a new dealer agreement to operate the dealership. If the supplier determines that the requesting family member is not acceptable, the supplier shall provide the family member with a written notice of its determination with the stated reasons for nonacceptance. This section does not entitle an heir, personal representative or family member to operate a dealership without the specific written consent of the supplier. C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a supplier and dealer have previously executed an agreement concerning succession rights prior to the dealer’s death, and if such agreement is still in effect, the agreement shall be observed even if it designates someone other than the surviving spouse or heirs of the decedent as the successor.
