32-6E-13. Hearing to determine change in circumstances sufficient to support dealership.
If a franchisor is permitted to terminate or not to continue a franchise and is further permitted not to enter into a franchise for the line/make in the community, no franchise may be entered into for the sale of snowmobiles of that line/make in the community, unless the franchisor has first established, in a hearing held under the provisions of chapter 1-26, that there has been a change of circumstances so that the community at that time can be reasonably expected to support the dealership.
