Bill > HB05490

This bill amends an existing Connecticut statute to extend the time period for a towing company to sell a towed motor vehicle from fifteen days to sixty days, but only for vehicles with a market value of $1,500 or less. Currently, towing companies are required to wait just fifteen days before they can sell a vehicle they have taken into custody and stored, but under this proposed change, they would have a longer sixty-day window to sell such vehicles. This extension provides towing companies with more time to recover storage costs and gives vehicle owners additional time to retrieve their vehicle or make arrangements before it is sold. The bill specifically modifies subparagraph (A) of subsection (e) of section 14-150 of the general statutes to implement this change, and it applies only to motor vehicles with a market value not exceeding $1,500.
