Bill Summary
This bill, which is designated as the "End Tesla Exception Act," repeals section 6 of P.L.2015, c.24 (C.56:10-27.1), which permitted certain motor vehicle manufacturers, including Tesla, to directly buy from or sell to consumers a zero emission motor vehicle. This statute provided an exception to the requirement that motor vehicle sales in this State occur through franchised dealerships.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "End Tesla Exception Act," aims to repeal a previous law that allowed certain manufacturers of zero-emission vehicles, such as Tesla, to sell their vehicles directly to consumers, bypassing the traditional model of selling through franchised dealerships. By removing this exception, the bill would require all motor vehicle sales in the state to go through licensed dealerships, reinforcing the existing system where manufacturers sell to independent dealers who then sell to the public. This change would affect how zero-emission vehicle manufacturers can distribute their products within the state.
