Summary

The bill mandates that any police officer or authorized motor‑vehicle inspector who tows a vehicle must provide the garage with the registered owner’s and lienholder’s name and address. The garage must then notify the owner and lienholder by registered mail about the storage, rates, and whether they wish to continue holding the vehicle. If no response is received, the vehicle can be stored, and after set time periods it may be sold, with proceeds held for the owner or lienholder.
