Under what circumstances can a dealer's license be denied or revoked?

A dealer's license can be denied or revoked for various infractions, including fraud, because such actions fundamentally undermine the integrity of the motor vehicle sales process. Fraudulent activities can include misrepresentation or deceptive practices regarding the vehicles sold, which not only violate ethical standards but also breach legal regulations set forth by the state. These infractions can lead to consumer harm, erode public trust in the dealership, and result in legal repercussions for the dealership and its staff.

In contrast, circumstances like failing to advertise, changing business locations, or experiencing changes in financial status don't inherently involve misconduct or unethical behavior. While these situations may present operational challenges for a dealer, they do not directly connect to the integrity of the business practices that regulatory bodies are concerned about when considering licensing. Therefore, such scenarios would not typically warrant denial or revocation of a dealer's license in the same way that engaging in fraudulent activities would.
