Maddy summaryHB 551 regulates the use of immobilization devices (like wheel clamps) on trespassing vehicles parked on private property in Georgia. It requires property owners to post clear notices detailing immobilization rules, fees, and recovery options before using such devices, except for residential properties with four or fewer units. The bill limits immobilization to licensed operators in jurisdictions that authorized the practice, sets maximum fees (no storage fees for the first 24 hours), and prohibits automatic surveillance or payments to property owners for immobilization services. It directly affects property owners, towing/storage companies, and vehicle owners whose vehicles are immobilized. The law also removes previous civil penalty authority but authorizes up to $2,500 penalties for violations.
