Team VADA Victorious In 2010 Session Of The General Assembly!

We are victorious!  Thanks to the efforts of Team VADA staff and the support of our Dealer Members, many of whom travelled to Richmond to lobby legislators, we have gotten both our Franchise Bill and our Demonstrator Clarification Bill passed and signed by the Governor!

The Franchise Bill is effective IMMEDIATELY! This means all of the provisions of the bill are currently in force.  The Demonstrator Clarification Bill will be effective July 1, which will give dealers time to update the appropriate forms.  We will be sending details of the needed changes.

Thanks to every member, both Dealer and Allied, who supported our efforts by writing letters, making calls and travelling to Richmond. A special "thank you" goes to those who travelled at a moment's notice for a couple critical Committee Meetings!
