An Act relative to the used vehicle record book
HD 3817 allows licensed class 1 used vehicle dealers to maintain required sales records electronically instead of keeping physical "record books." Dealers must store this information in an electronic system approved by the state registrar, but the law prevents the registrar from requiring duplicate physical records. This directly affects licensed used car dealers who previously had to maintain paper records. The bill changes the record-keeping method without altering the required information or adding new obligations for dealers.
