2012 SESSION
12101761DBe 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 15
days prior to the sale. The Board shall not
issue a temporary supplemental license for the same location for a consecutive
seven-day period. The
Board shall not issue more than 12 supplemental licenses per year to any
licensed motor vehicle dealer.
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 30 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 14
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.
