Summary

The bill adds a new Civil Code section that lets a licensed repossession agency file a lien on a registered vehicle, whether or not a lien is already on the vehicle. If a lien already exists, the agency can file its own lien if the current lienholder signs a written waiver or fails to respond to a certified‑mail waiver request within 30 days. This gives repossession firms a clearer path to secure their interests.
