Removes certain limitations on manufacturers regarding direct sale of zero emission light-duty trucks to consumers.
This bill removes restrictions that previously prevented manufacturers from selling zero-emission light-duty trucks directly to consumers. It amends New Jersey's motor vehicle franchise law (P.L.1999, c.45) to eliminate a provision barring manufacturers from owning or operating retail facilities for warranty service on zero-emission vehicles. The key change allows manufacturers to sell these specific vehicles directly to customers without requiring dealership intermediaries, affecting both manufacturers (like Tesla) and consumers purchasing zero-emission trucks. This is a direct policy change to update franchise rules for new vehicle technology, not a broader sales reform.
