Peacock (SB 23) Act No. 53
Prior law, relative to dealers of motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles, defined the term
"community or territory" or "area of responsibility".
New 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 30-mile radius of the location of his dealership.
Prior law required 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.
New 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 30-mile radius of the proposed new
dealership or the proposed relocation address of a dealership.
Effective August 1, 2013.
