S 2089 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

"Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Licensing Act."

This bill establishes the State Board of Used Motor Vehicle Dealers within New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to create clear licensing standards for used car dealers. It directly affects individuals and businesses selling, buying, or dealing in used motor vehicles (excluding nonconventional vehicles like farm equipment or golf carts). The board will review license applications, set ethics rules, issue and renew licenses, inspect dealers, and maintain public records of licensed dealers and their locations. The law aims to protect consumers by ensuring only qualified dealers operate in the state, with the board requiring dealers to have at least five years of active business experience.
