What it does

This bill prohibits a licensed motor vehicle dealer from selling or conducting a retail auction of a motor vehicle acquired from a person not within Iowa unless the dealer first obtains a vehicle history report. The bill defines “vehicle history report”. Current law requires a person engaged in the business of selling motor vehicles to apply for and obtain a motor vehicle dealer license. The department of transportation may deny, suspend, or revoke a motor vehicle dealer license held by a person who has not complied with the provisions of Code chapter 322, including the provisions of the bill, or associated administrative rules.
