SB 6288 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning motor vehicle dealer license requirements.

This bill updates Washington state's requirements for motor vehicle dealers' licenses. It mandates that dealers maintain a permanent, enclosed commercial building (not in residential buildings) as their primary location, display an exterior sign, and keep records there. Key changes include limiting shared business locations to two dealers until July 1, 2026 (after which only one renewal is allowed), requiring auction companies to post licenses at events, and clarifying rules for mobile home dealers and subagencies. These provisions directly affect all retail, wholesale, and auction vehicle dealers operating in Washington.
