Vehicles; prohibit false or secret compartments and establish criminal penalties for violations.
HB 1058 would make it illegal to own, operate, install, or sell vehicles containing hidden compartments designed to conceal people (for unlawful purposes) or contraband like illegal drugs or other prohibited items. It defines "false or secret compartments" broadly, including modified fuel tanks or added spaces, and creates criminal penalties for violations. Violators could face fines up to $10,000, up to two years in prison, or both. The bill applies to all vehicle types (cars, boats, aircraft, etc.) and directly affects vehicle owners, modifiers, and sellers who create or use such compartments.
