Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 46.2-1516 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 46.2-1516. Supplemental sales locations.
The Board may issue a license for a licensed motor vehicle dealer to display for sale or sell vehicles at locations other than his established place of business, subject to compliance with local ordinances and requirements.
A permanent supplemental license may be issued for premises less than 500 yards from the dealer's established place of business, provided a sign is displayed as required for the established place of business. A supplemental license shall not be required for premises otherwise contiguous to the established place of business except for a public thoroughfare.
A temporary supplemental license may be issued for a period not to exceed
seven days, provided that the application is made fifteen days prior to the
sale. A temporary supplemental license for the sale of new motor vehicles may
be issued only for locations within the dealer's area of responsibility, as
defined in his franchise or sales agreement, unless proof is provided that all
dealers in the same line-make in whose areas of responsibility, as defined in
their franchise or sales agreements, where the temporary supplemental license
is sought do not oppose the issuance of the temporary license.
A temporary supplemental license for sale of used motor vehicles may be
issued only for the county, city, or town in which the dealer is licensed
pursuant to § 46.2-1510, or for a contiguous county, city, or town.
Temporary licenses may be issued without regard to the foregoing geographic
restrictions where the dealer operating under a temporary license provides
notice, at least thirty days before any proposed sale under a temporary
license, to all other dealers licensed in the jurisdiction in which the sale
will occur of the intent to conduct a sale and permits any locally licensed
dealer who wishes to do so to participate in the sale on the same terms as the
dealer operating under the temporary license. Any locally licensed dealer who
chooses to participate in the sale must obtain a temporary supplemental license
for the sale pursuant to this section.
A temporary supplemental license may be issued for the sale of boat trailers at a boat show. Any such license shall be valid for no more than fourteen days. Application for such a license shall be made and such license obtained prior to the opening of the show. Temporary supplemental licenses for sale of boat trailers at boat shows may be issued for any boat show located anywhere in the Commonwealth without notification of or approval by other boat trailer dealers.
