License to Sell Vehicles Criminal Offense

Concerning the motor vehicle dealer board's consideration of an individual's criminal convictions when issuing a license.
Session:
2025 Regular Session
Subject:
Labor & Employment
Bill Summary

Current law requires the motor vehicle dealer board (board) to revoke or deny a license to a licensee or an applicant who has been convicted of or pleaded no contest to specific crimes during the previous 10 years. The bill changes the 10-year period to a 3-year period. If considering a licensee's or an applicant's criminal record, the bill allows the board to revoke or deny a license only if the board determines that the licensee or applicant has not been rehabilitated and creates an unreasonable risk to public safety or the sale of a motor vehicle.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
