An Act to exempt the sale and distribution of nonmotorized trailers from franchise requirements under Pennsylvania law; and preserving all other applicable requirements such as licensing of dealers and salespersons, registration and titling, sales and use tax collection and consumer protection under the Board of Vehicles Act.
SB 1012 exempts the sale and distribution of nonmotorized trailers (like utility or horse trailers) from franchise requirements under Pennsylvania's Board of Vehicles Act. It directly affects trailer sellers and distributors who would no longer need to meet franchise agreements for these specific vehicles. The bill preserves all other requirements, including dealer and salesperson licensing, vehicle registration, titling, sales tax collection, and consumer protection rules. This change streamlines one aspect of selling nonmotorized trailers without altering broader regulatory obligations.
