NYIADA Success
NYIADA's Success Featured in Used Car News
Albany, NY — The New York Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NYIADA) is proud to announce a significant victory for independent automobile dealers across the state. After months of sustained advocacy, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NY DMV) has announced, via VERIFY Tip # 128 on May 19th, 2025, a pause in the enforcement of Regulation 78.25(b), a policy that would have severely disrupted core business practices for independent dealers.
Originally announced on January 22, 2025, through VERIFY Tip #122, Regulation 78.25(b) requires dealers to maintain physical proof of ownership for all vehicles in their inventory at their registered place of business. Enforcement was scheduled to begin on June 1, 2025, effectively ending a long-standing industry standard that allowed floor plan lenders to retain original vehicle titles.
This shift in enforcement threatened to destabilize floor planning—a foundational credit structure for independent dealers. Floor plan lenders typically hold vehicle titles to mitigate risk, which in turn enables them to provide essential financing to dealers. Without this flexibility, many dealers would face reduced access to credit, limiting their ability to stock inventory and ultimately impacting consumer choice and affordability.
NYIADA acted swiftly, initiating dialogue with NY DMV officials, state legislators, the Governor’s Office, and key industry stakeholders. Through persistent advocacy and collaboration, NYIADA successfully made the case for the regulation’s reconsideration.
