A bill progressing in the Wyoming Legislature would grant
out-of-state RV dealers the right to purchase temporary RV display
and sales permits.
Senate File 0111 passed a third reading in the Senate on Jan. 24
and was introduced in the House on Jan. 26. It would require
out-of-state dealers not currently licensed in the state, to submit
an application and a $500 fee at least 90 days prior to the
RV-related event.
The permit would be valid for up to seven consecutive days, and
non-Wyoming dealers would be limited to three permits per year.
Additional fees: $50 for two temporary RV demo plates and $5 for
10 temporary permits for issuance to purchasers of RVs at the event.
Prior to consummating a sale with a Wyoming resident, an
out-of-state dealer would have to notify the buyer, in writing, of
the location of the manufacturer-authorized service facility nearest
to the event.
The bill is sponsored by the Joint Transportation, Highways and
Military Affairs Interim Committee. If it passes the House and is
signed by the governor, it would take effect July 1, 2007.
Max Durbin, chairman of FMCA’s Governmental and Legislative
Affairs Committee, urged Wyoming FMCA members to contact their state
legislators and ask them to support the measure.
“For FMCA to conduct successful national conventions and area
rallies in Wyoming, it is vital that we be allowed to have
out-of-state dealers display their products,” Durbin said.
