      Note: A motor vehicle dealer whose license is first issued on October 8, 1992 would receive a license valid through September 30, 1994.

2. (2) Individual licenses.

   1. (a) Licensing period. The department may issue a salesperson license, representative license, or buyer identification card that remains valid until any one of the following conditions occur:

      1. 1. The business license held by the person’s current employer expires;
      2. 2. The person ceases his or her employment with the dealer or other licensed business;
      3. 3. The person’s employer goes out of business; or
      4. 4. The department suspends or revokes the person’s license.

   2. (b) Reissued licenses. A person whose salesperson or representative license is invalidated by ceasing the person’s employment with a licensed dealer or other licensed business may, when hired by a different employer, apply to the department for a reissue of the salesperson or representative license. The department shall reissue the license without charge if both of the following conditions are true:

      1. 1. The department receives the application for a reissue before the previous employer’s business license expires; and

      2. 2. The person’s current employer holds the same type of business license as the person’s previous employer when the person ended his or her employment.

         Note: 1992, and the dealer’s license in effect on that date was set to expire on November 30, 1992, the person may not apply for a reissue on or after December 1, 1992. After November 30, the person must apply for an initial salesperson license. Also, a person may not apply for a reissue of the person’s previous salesperson license for employment by a motor vehicle dealer if that license was held while working for a mobile home dealer, since the two employers hold licenses of different types.

3. (3) Registration plates. The department may register and issue plates to business licensees for periods concurrent with the license periods described in this section.
