Subject: | Allowing Licensed Vehicle Salespersons to Sell at Multiple Dealerships |
Currently, the state Board of Vehicles Act limits licensed vehicle salespersons to sell for only one dealer at a time. It is getting increasingly commonplace, however, for vehicle dealers to own several dealerships. Under existing law, a salesperson licensed to one dealership cannot work at another one of the dealer’s facilities, even if that other facility is next door. To address this situation, I am introducing legislation to allow vehicle salespersons licensed to one dealership to legally sell at another related dealership, provided the other facility possesses common (but not necessarily identical) ownership. State law already permits this practice in circumstances when the ownership of both facilities is identical. The state’s vehicle dealers support this legislative change. I hope you consider adding your name as a sponsor to the bill. |
