Bill Summary

Establishing the reciprocal out-of-state motor home and recreational trailer vehicle show permit, to be issued by the Motor Vehicle Administration, authorizing the holder to display motor homes and recreational vehicles at vehicle shows in Worcester County; and requiring a permit holder, after the permit is approved, to file a bond with the Administration.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a reciprocal permit system for out-of-state motor home and recreational trailer dealers to display their vehicles at shows in Worcester County, Maryland. The Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) may issue these permits only to dealers from states that similarly allow Maryland dealers to exhibit vehicles at their shows. Permit holders can display vehicles at shows but are explicitly prohibited from executing sales or accepting deposits. To obtain a permit, an out-of-state dealer must be licensed in their home state and must file a bond with the MVA after permit approval. The bond, which will be on a form prescribed by the MVA, must be payable to the state and will ensure compliance with permit conditions. The MVA will determine the bond's amount and duration, and the permit can be suspended or revoked if the dealer fails to meet the specified requirements. The permit is specifically limited to vehicle shows in Worcester County, and the law will take effect on October 1, 2025.
