TWO-STAGE VEHICLE TO ANY DEALER IN THIS STATE UNLESS THE
MANUFACTURES OR DISTRIBUTOR IS LICENSED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.
(B) FACTORY BRANCHES.
A PERSON MAY NOT CONDUCT THE BUSINESS OF A FACTORY
BRANCH IN NEW CLASS A VEHICLES, NEW CLASS B VEHICLES, OR
NEW TWO-STAGE VEHICLES UNLESS THE PERSON IS LICENSED BY
THE ADMINISTRATION UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
from Art. 66 1/2, §5-702.
In this section, the word "new" is added to
clarify the present references to "Class A and
Class B vehicle{s}"; see §15-101(c) of this
title. Also, references are added to "new
two-stage vehicles" — defined in §15-101(d) of
this title — as implicitly required by Ch.
425, Acts or 1976. See revisor's notes to
§15-201(b), (c), and (e) of this subtitle.
In subsection (a) of this section, the words
"to any dealer" are added for clarity (cf.,
e.g., the similar phrase in §11—112 of this
article, which defined "distributor"). The
word "transfer" is substituted for "sold" to
include the variety of other ways that
vehicles can be transferred to a dealer. The
present implication of present §5—702 that a
dealer is prohibited from selling a new
vehicle transferred to him by an unlicensed
manufacturer or distributor now is provided
for in §15-314(5) of this title.
Present §5—702(c), which contains a fictional
appointment of the Secretary of State as an
agent to receive service of process, is
deleted as unnecessary and obsolete. The
referenced provisions of "Subtitle 9, Part III
of" Article 66 1/2 were repealed in 1973. The
jurisdiction of the Maryland Courts in cases
brought under this subtitle and the manner for
service of process are provided for adequately
in the Courts Article and in the Maryland
Rules; in this regard, see CJ §6-307 and its
revisor's note.
Similarly, present §5—702 (d), which provides
that "{t}he obtaining of a license ... shall
conclusively subject the {licensee} to ...
Maryland law", is deleted as obsolete and
unnecessary.
The only other changes are in style.
