1.
Grounds for revocation.
Revocation is the long-term withdrawal of a dealer license
under Minnesota Statutes, section
168.27,
subdivision 12. The registrar shall revoke a dealer license when there is
sufficient cause to believe that the dealer has been convicted of a crime, has
been enjoined due to a violation, has committed an act, or has failed to
perform a duty as follows:
A. The
dealer is convicted of violating or is enjoined due to a violation of Minnesota
Statutes, section
325F.69.
B. The dealer is convicted of violating the
Minnesota odometer law, Minnesota Statutes, section
325E.14,
325E.15,
or
325E.16, or
the federal odometer law, United States Code, title 15, sections 1981 to 1991,
as amended through December 31, 1984.
C. The dealer is convicted of a gross
misdemeanor or felony under Minnesota Statutes, section
609.53,
for receiving or selling stolen vehicles or stolen parts.
D. The dealer is convicted of a felony
related to the business of buying or selling motor vehicles or motor vehicle
parts. If the felony conviction is from another jurisdiction, the registrar may
not revoke unless the action or omission of the dealer would constitute a
felony under Minnesota Statutes.
E.
The dealer fails to pay the registrar all taxes, fees, and arrears due from the
dealer within ten days after notice that the taxes or fees are required to be
paid.
F. The dealer commits an act
or fails to perform a duty that is grounds for suspension of a dealer license

7400.1700 on the dealer's record
within the past five years.
G. The
dealer violates a suspension imposed under part
7400.1700.

application.
Subp. 2.
Revocation period and effect.
A dealer license is not valid after it is revoked. An owner,
officer, or board member of a revoked dealer may not be an owner, officer, or
board member of another licensed dealer during the revocation. When a dealer
license is revoked, the dealer shall immediately surrender the dealer license
certificate, all dealer license plates, and all temporary vehicle permits. The
length of revocation is as follows:
A.
The registrar shall use this item to determine the length of a revocation if
the revocation is based solely or in part on a conviction of a crime or crimes
as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section
364.02, subdivision
5. The revocation lasts until competent evidence is presented to the registrar
that the person convicted has been sufficiently rehabilitated under the
criteria of Minnesota Statutes, section
364.03,
subdivision 3.
B. If the length of
a revocation is not determined under item A, the length of revocation is one
year.
