Any snowmobile dealer or public auction may sell, or offer to sell, new or used snowmobiles on consignment. For the purposes of this chapter, consignment means the delivery of a snowmobile by the owner into the possession of another without transfer of title for the purpose of sale or where there is any condition that the purchaser does not have an absolute obligation to pay for the snowmobile or has a right to return the snowmobile to the seller. Any snowmobile dealer or public auction who sells, or offers to sell, a South Dakota titled snowmobile or a used snowmobile titled in a bordering state on consignment shall enter into a contract with the consignor. If the snowmobile owner’s state does not issue titles for the consigned snowmobile, the owner must provide a current state registration and accompanying affidavit stating that their home state does not issue titles for the snowmobile being consigned. A bill of sale, the registration, and affidavit of statement must be in the possession of the consignment selling dealer or public auction along with the proper consignment contract. The department shall prescribe the form of the contract.
