Senate File No. 872 is a proposed piece of legislation in the state of Minnesota that aims to modify commerce regulations, specifically to enable auto dealers to participate in auto shows. This bill seeks to amend existing state statutes to prohibit manufacturers, distributors, or factory branches from enforcing certain requirements on new motor vehicle dealers. These restrictions include forbidding manufacturers from compelling dealers to buy unrequested vehicles, parts, or accessories, or to engage financially in promotional activities without their consent.

Notably, the proposed legislation protects the dealers' right to take part in auto shows by preventing manufacturers from prohibiting such participation. This bill essentially aims to provide auto dealers more autonomy and protection in their business operations and dealings with manufacturers.
