Establishes a penalty for interfering with the repossession of certain vehicles
This bill amends existing vehicle laws to create a specific penalty for anyone who interferes with the transport of a repossessed vehicle once the repossession process is complete. It defines repossession as complete when the vehicle is connected to a tow truck, moved, or under the control of the repossession agent. Under the new provision, interfering with the vehicle's transport to a storage facility, auction, or dealer would result in a fine of up to $250. The bill also clarifies definitions for "collateral" and "repossessor" and outlines current notification requirements for law enforcement and vehicle owners.
