Governor Signed
Summary
The bill stops cities and counties from creating rules that prevent owners or lienholders from reporting a stolen vehicle, boat, or motor. It sets a default 48‑hour wait for reporting a rental vehicle after its scheduled return unless the reporter shows clear evidence of theft, and lets local agencies ask for basic proof of ownership and the rental agreement. The change applies statewide and becomes effective on May 6, 2026.
