In addition, the bill requires a multi-dealer representative to be present at the established place of business, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Under the bill, a multi-dealer representative does not need not qualify as an authorized signatory of any one motor vehicle dealer to assume the position of a multi-dealer representative. Finally, the bill defines "multi-dealer location" as a single structure with numerous office spaces from which discrete businesses operate used motor vehicle dealerships and which structure complies with regulations adopted by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission concerning a proposed place of business for a used motor vehicle dealer.
