distributor may object to a proposed change in the ownership of a

(b) In an action involving more than one (1) recreational vehicle
dealer, the venue shall be in any county in which at least one (1) of
the recreational vehicle dealers that is a party to the action is

(c) This subsection does not apply to a civil action for injunctive

must serve a written demand for mediation on the offending party
as follows:
(1) A demand for mediation shall be served upon the

the recreational vehicle dealer agreement or, if the address is
not contained in the recreational vehicle dealer agreement or
the address is no longer valid, the address on the offending

meeting must take place in Indiana in a location selected by
the mediator. The mediator may extend the date of the
meeting for good cause shown by either party or upon
stipulation of both parties.
(d) Serving a demand for mediation acts as an agreement to stay
the filing of a civil action for a violation of this chapter until after
the parties have met with the mediator. If a civil action is filed
before the meeting with the mediator, the court shall enter an
order suspending the civil action until the meeting with the
mediator has occurred. The court may, upon written stipulation of
the parties, enter an order suspending the civil action for as long
as the court considers appropriate if the parties wish to continue
mediation.
(e) The parties to the mediation each bear the cost of attorney's
fees and must divide the cost of the mediator equally.

recreational vehicle distributor may apply to a circuit court or
superior court having jurisdiction over the claim, upon a hearing
and for good cause shown, for a temporary or permanent
injunction, or both, to restrain a party from violating or continuing
to violate a provision of this chapter or from failing or refusing to
comply with the requirements of this chapter. An injunction under
this subsection must be issued without bond. A single act in
violation of the provisions of this chapter is sufficient to authorize
the issuance of an injunction under this subsection.
Sec. 32. (a) The secretary may suspend or revoke the license of
a recreational vehicle manufacturer, recreational vehicle
distributor, or recreational vehicle dealer upon a finding of a
violation of this chapter.
(b) A person that violates this chapter, a rule established under

is subject to a civil penalty of up to one thousand dollars ($1,000)
for each violation. Civil penalties recovered under this section shall
be paid to the state and deposited into the dealer enforcement
account established by IC 9-32-7-2.
