AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to require the owner or operator of a motor vehicle storage facility to notify the registered owner and any lienholder when a motor vehicle is involuntarily towed and stored. The bill also outlines the process for disposing of the vehicle through public or private sale if the owner or lienholder does not claim the vehicle within a specified timeframe, and requires the storage facility to pay any remaining proceeds to the lienholder and then the registered owner after deducting recovery, transportation, and storage costs, and the costs of sending notices and holding the sale.
