Bill > S3993

This bill modifies requirements for motor vehicle sales record inspections and online vehicle sales in New Jersey. The bill makes two primary changes: First, it adjusts the electronic record-keeping requirements for online vehicle sales by removing the word "immediate" from the inspection language, which suggests a slight relaxation in how quickly records must be made available for examination. Second, the bill mandates that the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission's chief administrator must now provide only one business day of advanced written notice (instead of the previous 72-hour requirement) before entering a dealership to examine books and records. The bill maintains existing provisions that online vehicle sales must be conducted by licensed dealers with a physical presence in New Jersey, and that these sales can only involve vehicles in the dealer's own inventory. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for motor vehicle dealers while still maintaining regulatory oversight of vehicle sales and record-keeping practices. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
