1) Auto Dealers Required to be open 30 hours? [by Anonymous Citizen on February 11, 2005]What is the justification behind the clause (Public Act 495) that "The posted hours shall be not less than 30 hours per week"? Since at what point does the government dictate how many hours a BUSINESS should be open? Where is the importance of an auto dealer being open a minimum of 30 hours important? Quite strange considering how doctors and lawyers are not held to this as well...ever check your doctor's schedule???? Hmm...let me guess, lobbyists from the large new-car dealerships paid great sums of money to house and senate members for this addition. Another attempt to run the independent dealer out of business. Is this not illegal???

Introduced in the House on February 13, 2003, to establish streamlined procedures for the towing, owner notification, custody, and sale of vehicles abandoned on public or private property, and establish new standards for what constitutes an abandoned vehicle. Among other things the bill would require the owner of an abandoned vehicle to pay a $150 fee to retrieve it, plus towing and storage costs; and it would require the Secretary of State to maintain a registry of abandoned vehicles on its website
