Establishes a penalty for interfering with the repossession of certain vehicles
This bill creates a $250 fine for anyone who interferes with the transport of a vehicle after a repossession is complete. It directly affects individuals who obstruct repossessors (like tow truck drivers) once they've legally taken control of a vehicle. The key provision defines "repossession complete" as when the repossessor gains entry, connects the vehicle to a tow, moves it, or takes control, and prohibits interference during transport to a storage facility, auction, or dealer. The law requires repossession notices to police and vehicle offices within 24 hours but focuses on penalizing interference after repossession is finalized.
