AI Summary
This bill requires independent auto dealers in Mississippi to complete continuing education courses for their annual license renewal, with the Department of Revenue now overseeing these requirements instead of the State Tax Commission. Specifically, dealers must provide proof of at least six hours of continuing education conducted by the Mississippi Independent Auto Dealers Association within the twelve months prior to their license renewal. Of these six hours, at least one must focus on titling and tags, and at least three must be completed through onsite training. This new requirement aims to ensure dealers stay updated on relevant regulations and best practices, with exceptions for dealers primarily selling salvage vehicles on behalf of insurers, manufactured home dealers, and franchised new car dealers or their employees.
