If a salesperson leaves a dealership, do they need a new license if they work for another dealership during the same licensing year?

When a salesperson leaves a dealership in Colorado, they are required to obtain a new license if they decide to work for a different dealership, even within the same licensing year. This requirement is in place because each dealership operates under its own license, and salespeople must be associated with a licensed dealership to legally engage in selling vehicles. Therefore, if a salesperson transitions from one dealership to another, they essentially need to establish a new association and complete the licensing process again to ensure compliance with state regulations. This maintains consistent accountability and tracking of sales activities under the appropriate dealer's license.
