RV BUSINESS LICENSE EXEMPTION - S.B. 554 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 554 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Mike Rogers
Committee: Transportation and Tourism
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to permit a dealer to conduct the business of buying, selling, or dealing in motor homes, trailer coaches, trailers, or pickup campers at a recreational vehicle (RV) show in the State, without obtaining a separate or supplemental license under the Code, if all of the following applied:
-- The dealer was licensed as a new vehicle dealer or a used or secondhand vehicle dealer.
-- A recognized RV or campground association sponsored the show.
-- The show did not last more than 14 days.
-- At least 14 days before the show began, the RV or campground association sponsor notified the Secretary of State, that the show was scheduled; the location, dates, and times of the show; and the name, address, and dealer license number of each participating dealer.
Under the Code, a person must apply separately for a dealer license for each county in which business is to be conducted. Before moving one or more of his or her places of business or opening an additional place of business, a dealer must obtain a supplemental dealer license, for which a fee cannot be charged. A dealer license entitles the dealer to conduct in the county covered by the license the business of buying, selling, and dealing in vehicles or salvageable parts. The dealer license also entitles the dealer to conduct at any other established place of business in the State only the business of buying, selling, or dealing in vehicles at wholesale. Under the bill, the license would entitle the dealer to conduct business at any other "licensed dealer's" established place of business in the State.
