Bill > SB270

This bill amends existing law concerning impounded vehicles to allow individuals, other than the registered owner, to retrieve essential personal belongings and items necessary for work from an impounded vehicle without charge, provided they are accompanied by the vehicle's owner and can prove ownership of the items. The custodian of the impounded vehicle must grant access for this retrieval as long as it doesn't disrupt the storage process, and items crucial for daily living, like work tools, clothing, medication, and personal documents, can be retrieved without any restrictions. This change aims to ensure individuals can access necessary items even when their vehicle is impounded, which is a process where a vehicle is taken and held by an authority, often due to unpaid fees or violations.
