HB 163 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Motor Home and Recreational Vehicle Shows in Worcester County - Permit for Out-of-State Dealers

HB 163 creates a permit for out-of-state dealers of motor homes and recreational vehicles to display their vehicles at shows in Worcester County, but only if the dealer’s home state allows Maryland dealers to show there. The permit allows dealers to exhibit vehicles at these events but explicitly prohibits taking buyer orders or deposits. Dealers must file a bond with the Motor Vehicle Administration after approval, and the bond remains active until all permit conditions are met. The bill establishes a new administrative process for the MVA to issue, manage, and potentially revoke these permits.
