§ 9-32-16-7 — Secretary of state to provide assistance to other state or foreign jurisdiction

Indiana § 9-32-16-7

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 9: MOTOR VEHICLES
• Art. 32: DEALER SERVICES
• Ch. 16: Administration and Legal Proceedings

Text

At the request of the division or equivalent
regulator of another state or foreign jurisdiction, the secretary may
provide assistance if the requesting regulator states that the requesting
regulator is conducting an investigation to determine whether a person
has violated, is violating, or is about to violate a law or rule of the other
state or foreign jurisdiction relating to dealer matters that the
requesting regulator administers or enforces. The secretary may
provide assistance by using the authority to investigate and the powers
conferred by this article as the secretary determines are necessary or
appropriate. The assistance may be provided without regard to whether
the conduct described in the request would also constitute a violation
of this article or other law of Indiana if occurring in Indiana. In
deciding whether to provide the assistance, the secretary may consider:
(1) whether the requesting regulator is permitted and has agreed
to provide assistance reciprocally within the state or foreign
jurisdiction of the requesting regulator to the secretary on dealer
matters when requested;
(2) whether compliance with the request would violate or
prejudice the public policy of Indiana; and
(3) the availability of resources and employees of the division to
carry out the request for assistance.
