DENVER — With the one-year enactment anniversary approaching for the California Car Buyer's Bill of Rights, attorney Rob Cohen now has Minnesota, Massachusetts and Illinois on his radar screen.

And it's Illinois that has Cohen most on edge, to the point of recommending that Illinois auto dealers gear up to contact their state legislators to defeat the Used Vehicle Buyer Protection Act that was introduced this past February.

Many dealers complain that obtaining compliance in a dealership is burdensome. Unfortunately, ignoring any aspect of required compliance programs can result in a single fine, or litigation costs, tha¬¬¬t will far exceed the annual cost of complying with privacy laws, OSHA, F&I and employment practices, to name a few. ACC believes training and compliance should not be viewed as burdens. With a dealership wide approach, training and compliance can promote customer satisfaction and bottom-line profits. Consumers will recognize the compliant dealership, understand more fully the value of products and merchandise being offered, and be more comfortable in making the purchases that benefit both them and your store.
