TO AMEND SECTION 56-15-310, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF DEALER AND WHOLESALER LICENSES, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A LICENSE HOLDER MAY EXHIBIT AND SELL MOTOR VEHICLES ON THE PREMISES OF A PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY ENGAGED IN THE LIQUIDATION OF ITS MOTOR VEHICLE ASSETS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 56-15-310(A) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 459 of 1996, is further amended to read:
"(A) Before engaging in business as a dealer or wholesaler in this State, a person first must make application to the department for a license. Each license issued expires twelve months from the month of issue (licensing period) and must be displayed prominently at the established place of business. The fee for the license is fifty dollars. The license applies to only one place of business of the applicant and is not transferable to another person or place of business except that a licensed dealer may exhibit and sell: (1) motor homes, as defined by Section 56-15-10, at fairs, recreational or sports shows, vacation shows, and other similar events or shows upon obtaining a temporary dealer's license in the manner required by this section; and (2) motor vehicles on the premises of a private or governmental entity engaged in the liquidation of its motor vehicle assets. No other exhibitions may be allowed, except as may be permitted by this section. Before exhibiting and selling motor homes or motor vehicles at temporary locations as permitted above, the dealer shall first make application to the department for a license. To be eligible for a temporary license, a dealer shall hold a valid dealer's license issued pursuant to this chapter. Every temporary dealer's license issued is valid for a period not to exceed ten consecutive days and must be prominently displayed prominently at the temporary place of business. No A dealer may not purchase more than six temporary licenses in any one licensing period. The fee for each temporary license issued is twenty dollars. A temporary license applies to only one dealer operating in a temporary location and is not transferable to any other dealer or location.
Any A person failing to secure a temporary license as required by this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be punished in the same manner as he would be punished for failure to secure his regular dealer's license.
The provisions of this section may not be construed as allowing the sale of any type of motor vehicles other than motor homes at authorized temporary locations."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
