This bill amends R.S.39:10-2 to ensure that certain buildings that previously operated as motor vehicle dealer businesses can continue to qualify as established places of business under New Jersey law. Specifically, it allows buildings that housed an established place of business on or before March 6, 2006, to retain their status as long as they meet specific criteria. These criteria include having at least one licensed dealer in the building prior to the cutoff date, possessing an approved fire suppression system, and having walls that are either exterior or standard walls constructed separately from any other wall, as certified by a qualified professional.

The bill aims to provide clarity and continuity for motor vehicle dealers by expanding the definition of an established place of business. This change is intended to support businesses that may have been affected by regulatory changes or the evolving landscape of the motor vehicle industry, ensuring that they can continue to operate without the need for significant structural modifications or relocations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
