STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Fourteen
AN ACT relative to licensure of motor vehicle dealers.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Dealer License; Separate License. Amend RSA 261:103-a, VI to read as follows:
VI. No dealer license shall be transferable, and a separate license shall be required for each separate place of business in a separate town or city, and shall be prominently displayed in the place of business operated by the person to whom such license is issued. A licensed franchised dealer, or a nonfranchised dealer who is in good standing as determined by the director, shall not be required to attend a class as a condition of being issued a separate license for a separate place of business.
2 New Paragraph; Dealer License; Operation Prior to Licensure. Amend RSA 261:103-a by inserting after paragraph VII the following new paragraph:
VIII. A licensed franchised dealer that has manufacturer approval to operate an existing dealership location that has submitted a dealer license application and is waiting for state licensing approval shall be permitted to operate. This permission to operate shall be allowed if the dealer submits with the application a sworn statement that the dealer meets or will meet all licensing requirements at the time of license approval. If the application is finally denied, the dealer shall cease operation.
3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
