Definition modification of a motor vehicle dealer to include dealers licensed under the laws of a contiguous state

Related bill: HF1220

AI Generated Summary

This legislative bill is proposing to change the definition of a "motor vehicle dealer" in Minnesota. It aims to expand this definition to include motor vehicle dealers who are licensed in states that share a border with Minnesota. This means that vehicle dealers from neighboring states can be recognized as authorized dealers in Minnesota for certain legal purposes related to selling and trading vehicles. Essentially, the bill seeks to treat vehicle dealers from contiguous states similarly to local dealers under Minnesota law.
