An Act relative to motor vehicle distributors
This bill requires motor vehicle distributors to hold the necessary state license for their occupation when applying for vehicle registration. It directly affects businesses that sell or distribute new vehicles, as they must now provide proof of their license during the registration process. The key provision replaces existing registration rules to mandate that applicants for general vehicle plates submit truthful information about their licensed occupation. This change ensures distributors meet licensing requirements before registering vehicles under their business name.
