HOUSE BILL NO. 2581 Offered January 12, 2005 Prefiled January 12, 2005 A BILL to amend and reenact § 46.2-1511 of the Code of Virginia, relating to course of study required for applicants for original independent dealer-operator certificates from the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board. ---------- Patrons-- Stump; Senator: Puckett ---------- Referred to Committee on Transportation ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 46.2-1511 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 46.2-1511. Dealer-operator to have certificate of qualification.

No license shall be issued to any motor vehicle dealer unless the dealer-operator holds a valid certificate of qualification issued by the Board. Such certificate shall be issued only on application to the Board, payment of an application fee of no more than fifty dollars as determined by the Board, the successful completion of an examination prepared and administered by the Board, and other prerequisites as set forth in this section. However, any individual who is the dealer-operator of a licensed dealer on July 1, 1995, shall be entitled to such a certificate without examination on application to the Board made on or before January 1, 1996.

The Board may establish minimum qualifications for applicants and, on and after January 1, 2006, shall require applicants for an original independent dealer-operator certificate of qualification to satisfactorily complete courses of study or other prerequisites prior to taking the examination. The Board shall approve the curriculum and contract with qualified persons to prepare and present such courses and administer the examination. Such contracts shall not be subject to the provisions of the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4000 et seq.).
