H421 - Motor Vehicle Dealers. (SL 2025-22)

Overview: S.L. 2025-22 (House Bill 421) amends the law related to motor vehicle dealers in the following ways:

• Extends to 60 days the grace period provided by statute during which a dealer license continues to be valid after its expiration date while the Division of Motor Vehicles is considering a properly submitted renewal application.
• Increases the validity period of dealer plates issued from one to two years, to align with the validity period of dealer licenses, which was increased from one to two years in 2024, and requires dealer plates to be replaced every four years instead of every three years.
• Provides for an extension of dealer license plate validity to coincide with any applicable extension of dealer license validity provided by the renewal grace period.
