 1        (a)  Except  as  provided in subsection (a-1), no person,
 2    other than a licensed new vehicle dealer, shall engage in the
 3    business  of  selling  or  dealing  in,  on  consignment   or

 5    year (except house trailers as authorized by paragraph (j) of
 6    this Section and  rebuilt  salvage  vehicles  sold  by  their
 7    rebuilders to persons licensed under this Chapter), or act as
 8    an  intermediary,  agent or broker for any licensed dealer or
 9    vehicle purchaser (other than as a salesperson) or  represent
10    or advertise that he is so engaged or intends to so engage in
11    such  business  unless  licensed to do so by the Secretary of
12    State under the provisions of this Section.
13        (a-1)  The licensing requirements of this Section do  not
14    apply  to  a  not-for-profit organization that is exempt from
15    federal  income  taxation  under  Section  501(c)(3)  of  the
16    Internal Revenue  Code  and  that  sells  or   consigns  used
17    vehicles that have been donated to the organization.
18        (b)  An  application  for a used vehicle dealer's license
19    shall be filed with the Secretary of State, duly verified  by
20    oath,  in  such form as the Secretary of State may by rule or
21    regulation prescribe and shall contain:
22             1.  The  name  and  type  of  business  organization

 5        applying  for  a  renewal  of his license. As evidence of
 6        this fact, the application  shall  be  accompanied  by  a
 7        certification from the Department of Revenue showing that
 8        the   Department   has   approved   the   applicant   for

14        with  each application covering each location at which he
15        proposes to act as a used  vehicle  dealer.   The  policy
16        must provide liability coverage in the minimum amounts of
17        $100,000  for  bodily injury to, or death of, any person,
18        $300,000 for bodily injury to, or death of, two  or  more
19        persons  in  any  one accident, and $50,000 for damage to
20        property.  Such  policy  shall  expire  not  sooner  than
21        December  31 of the year for which the license was issued
22        or renewed.  The expiration of the insurance policy shall
23        not terminate the  liability  under  the  policy  arising
24        during  the  period  for  which  the  policy  was  filed.
25        Trailer  and  mobile  home  dealers  are exempt from this
26        requirement.
27             5.  An  application  for  a  used  vehicle  dealer's

32        which  the  application   pertains;   however,   if   the
33        application  is  made  after  June  15  of  any year, the
34        license fee shall  be  $25  for  applicant's  established
 
                            -6-                LRB9203980DHmb
 1        place  of  business plus $12.50 for each additional place
 2        of business, if any, to which the  application  pertains.
 3        License  fees  shall be returnable only in the event that
 4        the application is denied by the Secretary of State.
 5             6.  A  statement  that  the  applicant's   officers,
 6        directors, shareholders having a 10% or greater ownership
 7        interest  therein,  proprietor, partner, member, officer,
