Relates to allowing additional or relocated motor vehicle dealers to be located within six or ten miles of one another when separated by the Hudson River
This bill modifies New York's vehicle dealer location rules to allow new or relocated dealers to open closer to existing dealers when separated by the Hudson River. Specifically, it permits dealers in counties with over 100,000 residents to operate within 10 miles of an existing dealer on the opposite side of the river (instead of the standard 6-mile requirement). The distance is measured along roadways between the nearest boundaries of each dealer's location. This change directly affects motor vehicle dealers seeking to establish locations across the Hudson River in larger-county areas.
