This bill, effective July 1, 2026, requires auto dealers to collect and keep identification from potential buyers, such as a driver's license for individuals or a federal employer identification number or a government-issued ID of an authorized representative for businesses. It also mandates that transport operators, companies that move vehicles or trailers, must either have a physical business location in Indiana or provide proof of valid registration with the U.S. Department of Transportation that allows them to operate within the state to obtain a registration number. Furthermore, any dealership operating without a license from the secretary of state will be subject to a Class A infraction, which is a serious violation of the law.
