Bill > SB2300

This bill amends sections 23.1-15-01 and 23.1-15-05 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to notice to the owner and law enforcement of abandoned vehicles. Key changes include: 1. Defining "secured party" as an insurer covering the abandoned motor vehicle under an insurance policy. 2. Requiring commercial towing services to provide notice to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction within 12 hours after completing the tow of an abandoned vehicle, and prohibiting them from collecting storage fees if they fail to do so. 3. Extending the notice requirements to emergency towing situations, in addition to abandoned vehicles. The bill aims to improve the notification process for owners, lienholders, and insurers when a vehicle is deemed abandoned and towed, ensuring they are aware of the vehicle's location and have the opportunity to reclaim it.
