Bill > SB00715

This bill proposes to modify existing Connecticut state law by increasing the time period that a towing company must wait before selling a motor vehicle that has been towed and stored. Currently, towing companies have a specific timeframe during which they can sell a vehicle if the owner has not retrieved it, and this legislation aims to extend that waiting period to provide vehicle owners with more opportunity to reclaim their towed vehicle. By lengthening the time before a tow company can sell a vehicle, the bill seeks to give owners more flexibility and a better chance to recover their property, potentially helping individuals who might face financial, logistical, or other challenges in quickly retrieving a towed vehicle. The specific details of the new time period are not provided in the bill text, but the intent is clearly to provide additional protections and time for vehicle owners to respond to a towing situation.
