qualifications, to operate as a motor home dealer. 

PURPOSE

As proposed, C.S.S.B. 924 authorizes a manufacturer or distributor of new
motor vehicles, or a representative of a distributor or manufacturer of
new motor vehicles, to operate as a motor home dealer.   

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, institution, or agency.
