Bill Summary

Relative to notifying automobile lien holders of certain towing and storage costs. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to require owners or operators of motor vehicle storage facilities to notify the registered owner and any lienholder when a motor vehicle is involuntarily towed and stored. The bill also allows lienholders to claim the vehicle by paying the recovery, transportation, and storage charges. If the registered owner or lienholder does not claim the vehicle within a certain timeframe, the storage facility owner can sell the vehicle at public or private auction and use the proceeds to cover their charges and costs.
