            House Bill 2216 amends the Occupations Code and the Transportation Code to create the independent mobility motor vehicle dealer license for the distribution of vehicles fitted and equipped to transport a person with a disability.  The bill authorizes, under certain conditions, the dealer to acquire, display, sell, or arrange for the sale and delivery of a motor vehicle that is or will be fitted or equipped for the transport of a person with a disability.   The bill prohibits such a dealer from selling or offering to sell a new motor vehicle other than a new mobility motor vehicle, which is defined as a mobility motor vehicle that has not been the subject of a retail sale, regardless of the mobility motor vehicle's mileage.              The bill sets out certain requirements for an applicant for an independent mobility motor vehicle dealer license.
