HB 2487

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Provides that offering to sell, selling, displaying, or permitting the display for sale of five or more vehicles within any 12 consecutive months creates a rebuttable presumption that a person is a motor vehicle dealer. Current law defines such person as a motor vehicle dealer. The bill provides for new trailers to be treated similarly to new motor vehicles in various provisions. The bill adds manufacturers or distributors selling new motor vehicles at wholesale to their franchised dealer or used motor vehicles to a licensed dealer, as well as persons dealing fire-fighting vehicles and ambulances, to a list of parties exempted from the definition of motor vehicle dealer.
