Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the state finance law, in relation to used motor vehicle dealer education

AI Summary

This bill establishes a comprehensive training and education program for used motor vehicle dealers in New York, requiring dealers to complete various training courses to enhance consumer protection and improve understanding of sales procedures. The bill creates three distinct training programs: a pre-licensing program for new dealers that covers topics like consumer protection and sales tax collection, a training program for designated individuals at each dealership that includes at least eight hours of instruction on title transfers and documentation, and a continuing education program that must be completed every 24 months. Qualified trade organizations can apply to conduct these training programs after obtaining approval from the commissioner of motor vehicles, who will develop an application process and monitor program compliance. The bill also establishes a dedicated "used motor vehicle dealer training program fund" to support these educational initiatives, and dealers must select a designated individual for each sales location to complete the required training. To ensure compliance, the Department of Motor Vehicles will not renew a dealer's license without certification that the training requirements have been met, and trade organizations conducting training must notify the department of program details and pay a fee per participant.
