The bill amends Chapter 255 of the General Laws by replacing section 39A with new provisions regarding the notification process for automobile lien holders concerning towing and storage costs. It mandates that when a motor vehicle is towed and stored by law enforcement or designated officials, they must provide the garage owner with the name and address of the vehicle's registered owner and any lienholder. If this information is not immediately available, the officer must obtain it and notify the garage owner within seven days. The garage owner is then required to inform the registered owner and lienholder via registered mail about the vehicle's storage and associated costs, and inquire if they wish to continue holding the vehicle.

Additionally, the bill outlines the procedures for storage and potential sale of the vehicle if it is not claimed. If the registered owner or lienholder does not respond within twenty-one days of receiving the notice, the vehicle will continue to be stored at prevailing rates. After sixty days, if the vehicle remains unclaimed, the garage owner must notify the registered owner or lienholder of the storage charges and the impending sale of the vehicle if it is not claimed within another twenty-one days. The garage owner may then sell the vehicle and must provide a statement of the sale proceeds to the registered owner and lienholder, depositing any remaining balance with the district court.
