Senate Bill 6 proposes the creation of a new statute, 345.13, which allows law enforcement officers to immediately impound vehicles involved in specific traffic offenses. These offenses include operating a vehicle without a license, speeding over 25 miles per hour above the limit, fleeing from law enforcement, and racing on highways. The bill stipulates that vehicles can be impounded for a standard period of 90 days, although local political subdivisions may establish shorter impoundment periods for violations occurring on their highways.

The bill outlines procedures for vehicle release, including the owner's right to request release at any time, provided they can prove ownership and that the vehicle was not being operated with their consent during the violation. Additionally, it allows individuals to petition the circuit court for the release of improperly impounded vehicles. If a person is found guilty of the violation, they will be responsible for the costs incurred by the law enforcement agency for the vehicle's impoundment. If the vehicle remains unclaimed for over 90 days after the impoundment period, the law enforcement agency may dispose of it following the procedures for abandoned vehicles.
