Clarifying Rules for Vehicle Liens by Repossession Agencies
This law clarifies that licensed repossession agencies can file a lien on a vehicle if no other lien exists, and allows them to file their own lien even when another one is already in place under specific conditions.
What This Bill Does
- Clarifies that current rules do not stop a licensed repossession agency from filing a lien if no lien is currently on the vehicle.
- Allows a repossession agency to file a lien for itself, even if another lien is already on the vehicle, as long as specific conditions are met.
Who It Names or Affects
- Licensed repossession agencies
- Owners of registered vehicles
Limits and Unknowns
- The official text does not list the specific conditions required to file a lien when another one already exists.
- It is unclear how this change affects towing or storage companies that are not repossession agencies.
