Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one step closer to being able to sell cars in New Jersey.
A bill was passed through the New Jersey Senate on Monday that would allow Tesla to sell its vehicles directly to customers. Now the bill just needs the approval of Gov. Chris Christie, who has 45 days to sign it, before it can become a law, reports CNNMoney.
Christie hasn’t said if he would sign the bill or not. If it’s approved the new law would allow Tesla four retail locations in New Jersey. The electric car manufacture already has two locations in the state, but they can’t sell cars at them yet, CNNMoney notes.
A similar bill was passed by the House of Representatives in Georgia. This bill would allow Tesla five locations in the state. Currently, the comapny can only sell 149 cars a year in the state, reports The Wall Street Journal.
TSLA shares were up slightly as of Tuesday afternoon.
