What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill enumerates certain conduct of consignment motor vehicle dealers as motor vehicle dealer license violations and requires a higher bonding amount for consignment motor vehicle dealers. A “consignment motor vehicle dealer” under this bill is “a motor vehicle dealer that derives at least 90 percent of its income from vehicle consignment agreements.” Under current law, a motor vehicle dealer must be licensed by the Department of Transportation. For a variety of reasons enumerated in existing law, DOT may seek suspension or revocation of a motor vehicle dealer license and a motor vehicle dealer may be subject to a forfeiture. This bill enumerates several additional reasons. Specifically, a consignment motor vehicle dealer who does any of the following may be subject to a forfeiture or license suspension or revocation:
1. Delivers a consigned motor vehicle to a purchaser before the consignor is paid in full and title of the vehicle is transferred to the dealer.

2. Uses an electronic process to process an application for transfer of title for a consignment sale.
3. Sells a motor vehicle that is subject to a lien for less than the full amount of the lien without the prior written consent of the lienholder.
4. Releases the proceeds from the sale of a motor vehicle that is subject to a lien without a written release of the lien.
Also under current law, a motor vehicle dealer must provide and maintain in force a bond or irrevocable letter of credit of not less than $50,000. Under this bill, a consignment motor vehicle dealer must provide and maintain in force a bond or irrevocable letter of credit of not less than $500,000.
