Bill > SB00847

This bill modifies existing Connecticut law regarding the towing and potential sale of motor vehicles by extending the waiting period before a towing company can sell a towed vehicle from 15 days to 60 days. Under the proposed change, a towing company would be permitted to sell a motor vehicle that has been in their custody and storage for at least 60 days, but only after demonstrating a good faith effort to locate and notify the vehicle's owner about the potential sale. The key purpose of this bill is to provide vehicle owners with additional time and opportunities to recover their towed vehicles before they can be sold, thus offering more protection to vehicle owners who may have been unaware of or unable to immediately address a vehicle towing situation.
