Are motor vehicle and powersport dealers required to report any change in hours of operation to the dealer board?

The correct response is that motor vehicle and powersport dealers are not required to report changes in their hours of operation to the dealer board as long as the business continues to operate full time. The rationale behind this is that full-time operations typically indicate a stable business model that does not necessitate additional oversight or reporting to the dealer board for operational changes like hours.

This understanding reflects the regulatory focus on businesses that may be deviating from established norms, such as going part-time, which could potentially raise concerns about their viability or compliance with dealer regulations. Therefore, as long as a dealer maintains full-time operational status, the integrity and oversight mechanisms in place are deemed sufficient, negating the need for further reporting solely on hour changes.
