Related bill: SF1321
AI Generated Summary
This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, Section 168.002, Subdivision 6, which defines "dealer" concerning motor vehicles. The amendment expands the definition of a motor vehicle dealer to include dealers who are licensed under the laws of a contiguous (neighboring) state. This means that for specific legal and regulatory purposes—such as those outlined in Sections 168.27, Subdivision 28; 168.33, Subdivision 8a; 168.345; and 168.346—the Minnesota Commissioner of Transportation may recognize out-of-state dealers as if they were licensed within Minnesota.
The bill was introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives by Representatives Olson and Myers, read for the first time, and referred to the Committee on Transportation Finance and Policy for further consideration.
