Recreational vehicle dealers: temporary branch licenses.

Existing law requires that a recreational vehicle dealer being issued a temporary branch license for selling new recreational vehicles at a show submit certain documentation to the Department of Motor Vehicles, including, for example, a manufacturer's written authorization for the sale specifying the dates and location of the show. Existing law imposes certain requirements if 9 or fewer dealers are participating in the show, including that the show is 50 miles or more from the dealer's established place of business, and that promotional materials include the name and established place of business of each participating dealer. Existing law excepts from those requirements, a recreational vehicle dealer participating in an annual show sponsored by a national trade association of recreational vehicle manufacturers, if the show is located in a county with a population of 6,000,000 or more persons. This bill would recast those provisions to except a recreational vehicle dealer being issued a temporary branch license from those requirements if the show is located in a county with a population of 9,000,000 or more persons, or at a location within 30 miles from the prior approved location of the show, and at least 10 manufacturers are participating in the show. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
