§ 32-6B-78. Transferee's qualification as sole issue in objection.
The issue in an objection filed under §§ 32-6B-73 to 32-6B-78, inclusive, either with the department or in a separate civil proceeding, is whether or not the prospective transferee is qualified. The department, or a court in a separate civil proceeding, shall enter an order holding that the prospective transferee either is qualified or is not qualified. If the department's or a court's order is that the prospective transferee is qualified, the dealer's franchise agreement is amended to reflect the change in franchisee and the manufacturer or franchisor shall accept the transfer for all purposes. If the department's or a court's order is that the prospective transferee is not qualified, the department or a court may include specific reasons why the prospective transferee is not qualified and may include specific conditions under which the prospective transferee would be qualified. If the department's or a court's order that a prospective transferee is not qualified includes specific conditions under which the prospective transferee would be qualified, the department or a court may retain jurisdiction of the dispute for a time certain to allow the dealer and prospective transferee to meet the conditions set forth.
