What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) licenses motor

vehicle dealers, and no person may engage in business as a motor vehicle dealer

without a license issued by DOT. DOT may suspend, revoke, or deny a motor vehicle

dealer's license if the dealer remains open for business on Sunday to buy, sell, or lease

motor vehicles, unless the dealer recognizes Saturday as the Sabbath and is closed

on that day.

This bill repeals this provision, thereby permitting motor vehicle dealers to

remain open for business on Sunday.
