66-4-2.1. Recreational vehicle dealers; licensure; special events.

A. A dealer, as defined in Section 66-1-4.4 NMSA 1978, shall apply to and be issued by the department a license to deal in recreational vehicles if the department finds the applicant is in compliance with department rules regarding registration of vehicles, certificates of title and all provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code [66-1-1 NMSA 1978]. Renewal of a license shall be according to rules of the department for a period of twelve months.

B. The department shall issue a "special event" license to a licensed New Mexico recreational vehicle dealer to conduct business at a location other than the dealer's listed primary place of business, upon forms issued by the department, provided:

(1) the special event is focused on the business of recreational vehicles as conducted at the applicant's primary place of business;

(2) the location of the special event is an established place of business; and

(3) the majority of recreational vehicle dealers in the county where the special event is to be held are notified, in a manner approved by the department, of the special event and offered the opportunity to participate and offer vehicles for sale under identical conditions established by and for the applicant and approved by the department. The applicant may charge other recreational vehicle dealers a participation fee sufficient to defray the actual expenses of the special event; or

(4) if the special event is sponsored by a national recreational vehicle organization and the applicant is not licensed to do business in New Mexico, the application is accompanied by an application and a certified letter from that New Mexico licensed dealer committing to serve as host dealer to the out-of-state applicant.
