§ 32-6B-4 — License required--Violation as misdemeanor.

No person may engage in the business, either exclusively or in addition to any other occupation, of selling, offering to sell, or displaying new or used vehicles, without a license as provided in § 32-6B-12 . A violation of this section is a Class 2 misdemeanor. Any subsequent violation that occurs within two years from any violation of this section is a Class 1 misdemeanor. The term, offering to sell, as used in this section, does not mean traditional advertising. However, the term includes the physical presence in this state of a new or used vehicle offered for sale by a person not exempt pursuant to the provisions of § 32-6B-5 . For an emergency vehicle dealer, as defined by § 32-6B-1 , the term includes the submission of a bid proposal for the sale of a vehicle if the bid proposal is offered in response to a bid request originating in this state.
