9-32-16-7. Secretary of State to Provide Assistance to Other State or Foreign Jurisdiction

Sec. 7. 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.
As added by P.L.92-2013, SEC.78.
