Alaska House Bill 36<\/a>, which is currently awaiting signature<\/a> but will go into effect 90 days after it is signed, amends the state’s license application process for motor vehicle dealers. Most notably, it increases the Alaska auto dealer surety bond<\/a> amount from $50,000 to $100,000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How do I update my Alaska motor vehicle dealer bond amount to $100,000?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles<\/a> has released an updated application for dealer licenses<\/a>, which includes steps for updating the amount for surety bonds already on file.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Although the increased requirement does not go into effect until 90 days after Alaska HB 36 is signed, the Division of Motor Vehicles recommends all active motor vehicle dealers in Alaska submit their new bond for $100,000, along with their proof of insurance, by September 1, 2021, to avoid dealer license cancellation.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles notes that motor vehicle dealers who do not have a bond on file with the DMV for $100,000 will be considered invalid once the law goes into effect.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
