SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California DMV taskforces are currently visiting dealerships throughout the state to ensure they are in compliance with the Car Buyer's Bill of Rights, which went into effect July 1, according to Auto Remarketing News.

Mike Macaulay, an independent car dealer and member of the Vehicle Industry Advisory Board for the California DMV, said that the DMV just recently formed the taskforces, which are knocking on dealers' doors and completing inspections. Whether these groups are warning dealers if they aren't in compliance or fining them, Macaulay said he wasn't sure.

"The postings telling consumers they have the option of purchasing a two-day return period have to be up in plain sight," Macaulay explained. "They are inspecting dealerships to make sure they're in compliance."

So far, Macaulay said he hasn't heard of any dealerships getting citations, and a taskforce has yet to visit his store, but he cautioned that dealers should be aware that such inspections could be coming their way, Auto Remarketing reports.

The advisory board Macaulay serves on recently met with DMV officials to discuss enforcement of the Car Buyer's Bill of Rights.

"We laid the groundwork for administrative and regulatory changes," he said. "We're in a wait and see mode right now to see how the new law affects the industry. We aren't sure what problems might arise from the legislation."
