SB 459 Ohio Senate · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Exempt motor vehicle donations from casual sales limits

SB 459 amends state law to explicitly exempt charitable donations of motor vehicles from the limit on casual sales. Currently, individuals are restricted to making no more than five casual sales of vehicles within a twelve-month period without a dealer license. This bill clarifies that the law does not apply when a person donates a vehicle to a nonprofit organization, distinguishing these transactions from sales. The change ensures that people giving cars to charities are not penalized or restricted under the existing casual sales provisions.
