Bill > HB630

This bill proposes to streamline and restructure the State Board of Registration of Used Motor Vehicle Dealers and Used Motor Vehicle Parts Dealers by eliminating the existing used car and used parts divisions and consolidating their powers and responsibilities under a single board. The bill reduces the board's membership from 14 to 10 members, modifies the composition of board membership (including adding a requirement for at least one online used car dealer), and transfers all previous divisional powers and duties to the overall board. Key changes include establishing new requirements for license applications, such as mandatory background checks, training seminars or examinations, and more detailed documentation of business locations. The bill also updates provisions related to licensing, including bond and insurance requirements, temporary site permits, and grounds for license suspension or revocation. Additionally, the legislation clarifies and expands the board's powers to protect public interests, such as setting minimum business location standards and establishing continuing education requirements for license renewals. The overall intent appears to be simplifying administrative processes, enhancing regulatory oversight, and improving transparency in the used motor vehicle and parts dealer industry.
