PURPOSE: This rule outlines the general procedures for application for licensure and issuance of a license effective July 1, 1989.

2. (2) Applications for renewal of license must be made on forms provided by the commission. The forms shall be mailed about one hundred twenty (120) days before the date of license expiration to the licensees’ last known business addresses; the renewal application forms shall be returned by the licensees at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of their current licenses.

3. (3) Based on commission policies and procedures, commission staff shall determine whether or not an applicant qualifies for licensure or renewal of licensure.

licensing activities of the Department of Revenue and the commission, the commission recognizes and accepts the distinctive dealer license numbers or certificates of the number system used by the director of revenue. All licenses, files and records pertaining to licensees of the commission will be issued a commission license number which corresponds to those numbers assigned by the director of revenue. After the adoption of this rule, the director of revenue will be requested to provide the commission with a list of all dealers and manufacturers currently registered with the Department of Revenue and their assigned distinctive dealer license numbers or certificate of number. The commission may request that the director of revenue provide an updated copy of this list and a corresponding list of unassigned distinctive dealer license numbers or certificate of number.

1. (6) All motor vehicle dealer licenses issued by the commission shall indicate for which primary class the dealer or manufacturer is authorized. Each license shall be valid for and permit the operation of that class of business activity at the business location registered with the commission. Each place of business where a licensed motor vehicle dealer sells or displays motor vehicles shall be registered separately with the commission. Each such place of business shall comply with the requirements of 12 CSR 60-2.120. A licensed motor vehicle dealer however, may store cars at a location other than a registered place of business, provided that the licensed motor vehicle dealer notify the commission of all these storage locations.
2. (7) All newly issued original and renewal licenses shall be mailed to the applicant or licensee. The office of the commission may issue a letter stating that the applicant is approved for licensure.
