Nebraska expanded dealer warranty labor-time and parts reimbursement rights

LB 667, approved May 15, 2025, amended Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-1438. Franchisors may not unreasonably deny dealer requests to change a uniform warranty time allowance or add diagnostic or repair time for a specific vehicle. Manufacturers must justify denials of a dealer's declared parts markup. Parts furnished at no or reduced cost must be paid at the dealer's markup on fair wholesale value, and the maintenance items excluded from rate calculations are now listed.
