COVID-19 INDUSTRY GUIDANCE: Automobile Dealerships and Rentals

With COVID-19 cases on the rise, Governor Newsom has recently ordered new California closures for non-essential businesses. The State Public Health Officer has noted that “[w]orkers critical to the manufacturing, distribution, sales, rental, leasing, repair, and maintenance of vehicles and other transportation equipment (including electric vehicle charging stations) and the supply chains that enable these operations, subject to adhering public health guidance issued by [the California Department of Health]” are essential.  This means that auto sales in California are classified as essential and may remain open.

In order to continue to be excluded from such list the California Department of Public Health and Cal/OSHA have produced guidance material for dealerships. Click below to read the full guide.

The content of this post is the personal opinion and perspective of the individual author and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Madison Law, APC, or any other person or entity. Nothing in this article creates, or should be construed to create, an attorney-client relationship. While the authors here are asked to do their best to ensure that the discussion is accurate when drafted, laws frequently change (both the statutes and their interpretations by newer court decisions) and legal questions are usually highly fact-dependent. You should not follow advice that you read online, and instead should retain the services of an attorney of your choice who can evaluate the law (as it exists at the present date) and apply that law to your particular circumstances.
