Bill > A06653

This bill establishes a comprehensive used motor vehicle dealer education program to improve consumer protection and regulatory compliance in the used car sales industry. The bill requires eligible used motor vehicle dealers to participate in three types of training programs: a pre-licensing training program for new dealers, a training program for designated individuals at each sales location, and a continuing education program. The training will cover topics such as motor vehicle title transfers, documentation, record keeping, consumer protection, and sales and use tax collection. Qualified trade organizations can apply to conduct these training programs after receiving approval from the commissioner of motor vehicles. Dealers must select a designated individual for each sales location to complete the training, with restrictions on how many locations one individual can represent. The bill also creates a dedicated "used motor vehicle dealer training program fund" to support these educational initiatives, which will be funded through application fees and participant payments. Dealers must complete the required training before renewing their licenses, and the department will periodically monitor the training programs to ensure compliance. The overall goal is to enhance the professionalism and ethical standards of used motor vehicle dealers in the state.
