Official description
Motor vehicle dealers; dealer records and advertisements. Provides that motor vehicle dealer records may be preserved in original form or electronically and removes the option to use certain obsolete archival methods. The bill removes the requirement that a dealer receive prior approval to maintain records on a computerized record keeping system. The bill additionally removes the requirement that a dealer maintain on the premises of the licensed location records regarding uninsured motor vehicle fees, which no longer exist under current law. The bill expands the application of certain naming requirements for advertisements to all advertisements placed by any licensee, rather than only to advertisements placed in newspapers and publications.
