The Legislature finds and declares that the retail distribution, sales and rental of agricultural, construction, utility, industrial, mining, outdoor power, forestry and lawn and garden equipment utilizing independent dealers operating under contract with the supplier, vitally affects the general economy of this state, the public interest and the public welfare. Therefore, the Legislature has determined that it is necessary to regulate the business relations between the independent dealers and the equipment suppliers as contemplated in the Fair Practices of Equipment Manufacturers, Distributors, Wholesalers and Dealers Act and that any action taken in violation of this act will result in a violation of an important public policy of this state.
