Bill > HB807

This bill updates regulations for independent motor vehicle dealers by introducing new education and training requirements. The bill expands the definition of an "independent motor vehicle dealer" and establishes mandatory education courses for both initial licensing and license renewal. These courses, which will be developed and approved by the Board of Vehicles, must be web-based or in-person and will cover relevant laws, regulations, and potential consequences of violations. Initial licensing courses will require 20 hours of instruction, while renewal courses will be two hours long, with a cost cap of $300 for initial courses and $75 for renewal courses. The bill provides exemptions for dealers who have been licensed for 10 years or more, or who are already licensed as new vehicle dealers. The board will have the authority to require additional training for dealers found in violation of regulations. The education and training provisions will take effect one year after the board promulgates the necessary regulations, while other parts of the bill will take effect immediately. The goal appears to be improving professional standards and compliance within the independent motor vehicle dealer industry by ensuring dealers are well-informed about legal requirements and best practices.
