Airport authorities; authorize to take certain measures upon abandoned motor vehicles left on airport property.
This bill authorizes Mississippi airport authorities to manage abandoned vehicles left on airport property. It requires authorities to make reasonable efforts to locate owners, send 30-day written notices (via certified mail and newspaper publication), and allow owners to reclaim vehicles by paying towing/storage fees. If unclaimed, authorities may sell the vehicle at public auction, dispose of it reasonably, or retain it for airport use (like maintenance or security). Proceeds cover costs first, with any remaining balance deposited into the airport’s general fund after 90 days if unclaimed.
