State dealer education requirements

[Shaun Petersen]

Good morning, State Execs!

 

I hope this message finds you all well and enjoying the holiday season. 

 

As we move into next year’s legislative sessions, several states have expressed some interest in pursuing dealer licensing education legislation and/or regulation.  It is always helpful in making the pitch to have a reference of what other states have on the books.  With that in mind, I have prepared this spreadsheet with the most recent information I have on who requires pre-licensing education, continuing education, and who is authorized to offer the classes. 

 

Some of this information may need updates.  Would you please review the sheet and if there is anything I need to change relative to your state, would you please let me know?

 

Once we have a final document, I will redistribute it to the entire group. 

 

Thank you!

Shaun,

Thank you for taking the lead on this. I am encouraged to see more states that have become involved with PL and CE classes. 

For those states working on getting this done, or need help getting this accomplished, please don’t hesitate to call Shaun or myself. 

For many years in GA now, this continues to be one of the larger and reliable non-dues revenue streams for the GIADA. 

Not to mention the valuable exposure and opportunity to stay in front of dealers on a regular basis which has become a solid source for recruiting new members and retaining existing members. 

If you need help writing legislation or developing a training curriculum, please ask. 

It’s huge!

Shaun,

I agree with Paul.  We touch every new independent dealer in the state with Prelicensing and most of them with Continuing Education.  The great thing about Continuing Education is the ability to add more Educational material to the curriculum.   Education is tuition based and can always be included as a member benefit.

In Oregon if they do our tests in the magazine it is included in their dues, we also give credit for the education classes at our convention, Title and Reg class, and 3 to 4 other mini seminars through out the year.....

Montana currently has no dealer education requirements. We have had initial conversations regarding dealer education but the State hasn't seen it as a priority at this time.

Michigan is pursuing pre-licensing and continuing education.

To my knowledge CT does not pre-licensing training.  I’ve contact the State Legal Service's on several occasions and haven’t gotten a response. However, I do see a need for continuous education as many dealers have contacted me for help with they’re applications.

NJ/NY does not have educational requirements but it is a focus of ours moving forward to get passed

Association Execs,

If anyone is interested, I can provide our statutes.  Prelicensing course material needs to be approved by the state every 3 years.  I am working through the re-approval process now.

Thanks, Reg.  I have a couple of minor updates from some of the states.  Waiting on the news de jour…we may have a new law in Michigan in the very near future. 

 

We’ll see what the Governor does and then update and send the final revised spreadsheet around with those changes.

 

If any of the other state ED’s have any other changes, let me know.

Hello All,

Thank you Shaun and Paul for providing us with the list of States with Dealer Education requirements and to everyone for participating in that survey.

ATTACHED is the text in PDF format for each of the listed State Statutes and Regulations, based on the attached Excel spreadsheet provided by Shaun and Paul. The PDF is a long document so hopefully this will not end up in your spam email box.

Enjoy.

Reg

Good afternoon all!

 

A bit of delay in getting back to everyone, I do apologize!

 

For the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board requires an in-person pre-licensing class of 16 hours, with a test at the end of the class. You must pass with a minimum score of 80. Once they complete the pre-licensing class and pass, they can then go to the DMV and take the final test. If they do not pass the test, they must re-take the course. VIADA is the only one that is administering the pre-licensing class. VIADA rents class space at various community colleges across the state, but the community colleges do not have a hand in the course education.

 

Dealer Recertification is every 3 years, and done on-line by VIADA and other private entities. It is a 6 hour course that the user can start and stop as needed.

 

Our Virginia code for the education requirements is 46.2-1508.

 

I hope everyone has a great holiday and I am looking forward to seeing you in Dallas next month!

 

Jamie Davis

VIADA Executive Director

Good morning, State Execs!

[Shaun Petersen]

Hot off the press…

 

Congratulations to the Michigan IADA!  Governor Snyder just signed legislation creating pre-licensing and continuing education for Michigan used car dealers.  Michigan IADA introduced and shepherded the bill through the process from start to finish. 

 

With that bill now on the books and with everyone’s feedback, I have revised the chart we circulated a couple of weeks ago.  I have also attached a copy of the Michigan bill for your reference. 

 

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 

See you in Dallas on Jan 17!
