This Act amends Title 21 to specify the requirements for an applicant to obtain or renew a motor vehicle dealer license and aligns the requirements with other state licensing requirements. The current law only requires the applicant to show they have and will comply with the laws of this state and other states. Due to the statutes current ambiguity the Division of Motor Vehicles is often asked to review an applicants criminal history prior to submission of a full application which makes it difficult for the Division to determine if the applicant qualifies for licensure.

An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Vehicle Dealership Owners Licenses.
