VEHICLE DEALER INSPECTIONS
House Bill 5360
Sponsor: Rep. Scott Hummel
Committee: Commerce
Complete to 3-18-02
A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5360 AS INTRODUCED 10-29-01
The Michigan Vehicle Code requires the secretary of state to inspect new and used vehicle dealers "once every four years and as determined necessary". The bill would instead specify that, in order to determine or enforce compliance with state law, the secretary of state "may inspect a dealer whenever he or she determines it is necessary". (Dealers are required to maintain sales-related records for five years and make them available for inspection by the secretary of state or other law enforcement officials.)
