Changes certain requirements for inspection of records of motor vehicle sales.
This bill modifies record-keeping requirements for online motor vehicle dealers in New Jersey. It removes the current requirement that electronic sales records must be "immediately inspectable," instead requiring them to be inspectable by the Motor Vehicle Commission. The bill also mandates that inspectors provide 72 hours' written notice before examining a dealer's records. These changes specifically affect licensed online dealers selling vehicles in New Jersey, including those operating through parent or affiliate companies. The policy focuses on updating record access procedures while maintaining physical presence requirements for dealers.
