SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Motor Vehicle Dealer Board; authority over recreational, trailer, and motorcycle dealers; penalties. Transfers the oversight of recreational vehicle, trailer, and motorcycle dealers from the Department of Motor Vehicles to the newly created Motor Vehicle Dealer Board (the Board). The bill provides for representation by recreational vehicle, trailer, and motorcycle dealers on the Board and updates usage of "T&M" (travel trailers and motor homes) to "recreational." The bill increases the penalty for dealers' noncompliance with requirements for issuance of temporary license plates from a Class 3 misdemeanor to a Class 1 misdemeanor and creates a Class 1 misdemeanor for failure to comply with safety inspections or disclosures required before the sale of certain types of trailers.
