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

This bill (HD 1904) creates an appeal process for existing Class 1 license holders who believe a new license was improperly granted. It allows a current Class 1 licensee to challenge a licensing board's approval of a new Class 1 license within 10 days, alleging the applicant didn't meet requirements under Section 58. The registrar must decide on the appeal within 30 days, and parties can further appeal to a superior court within 10 days of the registrar's decision. The bill directly affects Class 1 license holders and licensing boards by adding administrative and judicial review steps to license approvals.
