AI Summary

  • Extends the deadline for buy-here-pay-here dealers to assign conditional sale and lease contracts to third-party finance sources from 45 days to 46 days after contract consummation
  • Expands the legal definition of "buy-here-pay-here" dealer to potentially include more dealers by changing the assignment timeframe threshold
  • Creates a state-mandated local program by expanding application of existing criminal penalties (misdemeanor violations) to additional persons under the revised definition
  • Requires no state reimbursement to local agencies because costs stem from changes to crime definitions under California Constitution Article XIII B
