AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require towing and storage companies to provide notice to all lienholders of a motor vehicle within 14 days of the vehicle being stored. The bill also requires the garage owner to exercise due care in preventing negligent acts while the vehicle is in their possession, and mandates that the garage owner provide lienholders with specific information regarding storage fees and retrieval procedures if the vehicle remains in storage for more than 14 days. Additionally, the bill specifies that the garage owner's lien and sale remedies will be limited if they fail to provide the required notice to lienholders.
