Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 63-17-76, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Require A Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Renewing An Application For The Issuance Of A Used Motor Vehicle Dealer's License To Complete Continuing Education As Determined By Standards Agreed Upon By The Department Of Revenue And The Mississippi Independent Auto Dealers Association; To Remove The Exemption Granted To Used Motor Vehicle Dealers Engaged In Vehicle Salvage From Continuing Education Requirements As A Condition Of Dealer Licensure; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires used motor vehicle dealers in Mississippi to complete continuing education courses as a condition for renewing their licenses, a requirement that will be determined by the Department of Revenue in collaboration with the Mississippi Independent Auto Dealers Association. Previously, dealers primarily engaged in selling salvage vehicles on behalf of insurers were exempt from continuing education, but this bill removes that exemption, meaning all used motor vehicle dealers will now need to meet these educational standards to renew their licenses, with exceptions for manufactured home dealers and franchised new car dealers or their employees.
