Makes clarifying changes throughout that dealership agreements are manufacturer and dealership agreements. Concerning the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal of a manufacturer and dealership agreement, allows a manufacturer to reduce the required 90 days' notice period to 30 days' notice if there is a material violation of the Article (rather than the act) which is not cured within 30 days after written notice by the manufacturer.

Concerning the prohibition against manufacturers or distributors coercing dealers, prohibits coercing dealers to enter into an agreement that requires dealers to submit its disputes to binding arbitration or otherwise waives rights or responsibilities provided under the Article (rather than the act).
Amends the proposed mediation provisions to refer to the Article rather than the act throughout.
