An Act To Amend The Law Governing Notification To Vehicle Owners And Lienholders When A Vehicle Is Towed Or Left Without Permission On Residential Or Business Property

This bill (LD 1846) requires property owners, businesses, repair shops, and storage facilities to send written notice (via certified mail) to vehicle owners and lienholders within specific timeframes when vehicles are towed or left without permission on their property. For most cases (towing, unauthorized parking), notice must be sent within 48 hours. For repair shops or storage facilities with unpaid fees, notice must be sent within 14 days. The notice must include vehicle details (make, model, VIN) and is only required if the owner or lienholder has registered their information with the Secretary of State. It directly affects property owners who tow vehicles and vehicle owners/lienholders with registered records.
