DIGEST
Present law defines the term "community or territory" or "area of responsibility".
Proposed law removes from the definition of "community or territory" or "area of responsibility"
the requirement that the area of responsibility for a motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle dealership be
an area within at least a thirty-mile radius of the location of his dealership.
Present law requires the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission (commission) to notify existing
licensed motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle dealership or dealerships selling the same-line makes,
models, or classifications if a new dealership or relocation of an existing dealership is within the
existing dealer's area of responsibility.
Proposed law changes criteria to determine which existing dealership or dealerships the
commission must notify if a new dealership or if an existing dealership relocates in a particular
area. The new criteria will be based on a thirty-mile radius of the proposed new dealership or the
proposed relocation address of a dealership.
Effective August 1, 2013.
