Bill > H365

This bill modifies the existing law regarding Class 1 motor vehicle dealer licenses by establishing a new appeals process. Specifically, the bill allows any person, including existing Class 1 dealers, to appeal the approval and granting of a Class 1 license within ten days of such action to the registrar. Existing Class 1 licensees can challenge the issuance of a new license if they believe the new applicant has not met the legal requirements. The registrar is required to create rules and regulations for this challenge process and must render a decision to either affirm or revoke the disputed license within thirty days. If a person is unsatisfied with the registrar's decision, they may further appeal to a Superior Court justice within ten days, who will conduct a summary hearing and has the authority to review factual and legal questions, potentially affirming or reversing the original licensing decision. This bill aims to provide a more comprehensive and structured mechanism for challenging motor vehicle dealer license approvals, giving both existing dealers and other interested parties a clearer path to contest licensing decisions.
