Manning Leaver Legal Lane: Dealer Protests Before the California New Motor Vehicle Board

The California New Motor Vehicle Board (the “Board”) was originally established in 1967 as the New Car Dealers Policy and Appeals Board to hear appeals of new car dealer licensing decisions made by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Initially, its duties were similar to other occupational licensing boards. In 1973, the Legislature renamed the Board the New Motor Vehicle Board and expanded its authority by adding Vehicle Code sections 3060 to 3069, which became operative on July 1, 1974. These sections empowered the Board to adjudicate disputes between new car dealers and manufacturers.
