Summary

The bill rewrites the definition of “motor vehicle” in the Motor Vehicle Sales Law so that semitrailers are no longer covered by the law’s dealer, licensing and retail‑sale rules. As a result, manufacturers, dealers and sellers of semitrailers – and the consumers who buy them – will be exempt from the regulations that apply to cars, trucks and other trailers. The change is meant to ease regulatory burdens on semitrailer transactions.
