S 8726 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to abandoned vehicles

This bill raises the monetary threshold for seizing abandoned vehicles from one thousand two hundred fifty dollars to three thousand dollars. It directly affects local authorities, allowing them to immediately take ownership of unlicensed vehicles that meet this higher value limit and are left abandoned. The law includes exceptions where local authorities do not need to obtain title if the vehicle is intended to be sold as junk, dismantled, or destroyed. The changes will not take effect until one hundred eightieth days after the bill becomes law.
