What This Bill Would Do

Pennsylvania House Bill 807 requires used vehicle dealers to complete initial and continuing education and training courses as a condition of licensure. The legislation defines s, sets course length and maximum fee caps, and provides license exemptions for dealers licensed for 10 years or more or those already holding a new vehicle dealer license.

Why it matters

Independent used car dealers and their business leaders face new mandatory training hours and associated fees to obtain or renew their state licenses, while veterans of the industry and existing new car dealers are exempted from the initial coursework.
