The Alabama state legislature passed House Bill 400 to standardize the surety bond and license requirements for motor vehicle dealers,designated agents, rebuilders and recondition licensees to hold a $50,000 bond.  The $50,000 bond replaces the need for multiple bonds for each license.  Once the bill is enacted, the following changes will occur:

1.)   Instead of rebuilders and reconditioners having to have two separate licenses, it will be combined into one.

2.)   New and used dealers will not have to obtain multiple license categories to conduct business.

3.)   Instead of motor vehicle dealers (whether new,used, and/or wholesale), designated agents, rebuilders and reconditioner shaving separate bonds for each license, it is being combined into one $50,000 bond. 

The Alabama Department of Revenue is working towards having the new bond form loaded into the online system by August 1^st for those who renew their license and bond at the end of September.  The Department is also developing a system tohelp agencies such as, Ashton Agency to better assist Alabama dealers,designated agents, rebuilders, and reconditioners renew their bond.
