LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
(3)Under existing law, every original vehicle salesperson’s license, and license renewal, is valid for a period of 3 years from the date of issuance unless canceled, suspended, or revoked by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Existing law authorizes a salesperson’s license to be renewed by mail if that license was not renewed by mail for the immediately preceding period.
This bill would instead allow a salesperson’s license to be renewed by mail or online.
