An Act relative to the issuance of a Class 1 dealer license

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow existing Class 1 motor vehicle dealers to appeal the licensing of new dealers if they believe the new applicants have not met legal requirements. The legislation grants current licensees the right to challenge these decisions within ten days, requiring the state registrar to review the case and issue a ruling within thirty days. If the registrar upholds the new license, the current dealer can further appeal the decision to a superior court justice for a summary hearing. These changes create a formal administrative and judicial process for existing businesses to contest the approval of competing dealers.
