SB 141 -- EMERGENCY VEHICLE SALES

SPONSOR:  Nodler (Richard)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on Small
Business by a vote of 8 to 0.

This bill exempts dealers who sell only emergency vehicles from
maintaining a bona fide place of business, including the related
law enforcement certification requirements, and from meeting the
minimum yearly sales requirement.

FISCAL NOTE:  Estimated Effect on General Revenue Fund of a Cost
of $3,334 in FY 2006, an Income of $0 in FY 2007, and $0 in FY
2008.  No impact on Other State Funds in FY 2006, FY 2007, and FY
2008.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that an auto dealer is currently
required to be open at least 20 hours a week.  The bill just
exempts a couple of businesses who specialize in emergency
vehicles that don't really have any need for a showroom and may
sell less than six vehicles a year.

Testifying for the bill was Senator Nodler.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
