DIGEST Present law lists persons to be licensed by the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission to engage in business in the state regardless of whether or not the person maintains or has a place or places of business in the state, and who would be in violation of state law to operate without first obtaining a license. Requires that the commission license auto shows, trade shows, and exhibitions, including promoters under these provisions in present law. Proposed law retains these provisions in the present law but includes with promoters any nonresident exhibitors. Effective August 1, 2012. (Amends R.S. 32:1254(A)(19))
