Bill Summary

This bill removes the requirement under current law that non-physical, electronic records of online sales of motor vehicles be kept and maintained in a format that allows for immediate inspection and examination. Under the bill, a person who is licensed to buy, sell, lease, or deal in motor vehicles is required to keep non-physical, electronic records of online sales of motor vehicles in a format that allows for inspection and examination by the Chief Administrator (chief administrator) of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, or the chief administrator's agent. In addition, the bill requires the chief administrator, or a designee, to provide one business day advanced written notice to an individual or entity engaged in the business of buying, selling, or dealing in motor vehicles; a licensed motor vehicle dealer; or a licensed leasing dealer prior to entering the building of an individual or entity engaged in the businesses listed above for the purpose of examining books and records.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing regulations for motor vehicle dealers who conduct online sales by changing the requirements for how they must maintain electronic records and how inspections of those records can be conducted. Specifically, it removes the stipulation that electronic records of online motor vehicle sales must be immediately accessible for inspection, instead requiring them to be kept in a format that allows for inspection and examination by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (or their agent). Additionally, the bill mandates that the Chief Administrator or their designee must provide one business day's advance written notice before entering a dealer's building to examine their books and records, a change from the previous 72-hour notice requirement. These changes aim to streamline the process for dealers while still ensuring oversight by the Motor Vehicle Commission.
