AI Summary

  • Establishes a fixed $50 fee for abandoned vehicles on private property or public land within incorporated city or town boundaries, and a $150 fee for those outside incorporated areas on national forest, state park, bureau of land management, or state trust land.

  • Requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to collect these fees as additional registration or driver license fees from vehicle owners and deposit them in the state highway fund.

  • Provides registered towing companies that removed abandoned vehicles from national forest, state park, bureau of land management, or state trust land with a fixed $100 payment (previously 20% of collected fees), requiring them to register with the state's procurement office to receive payment.

  • Requires the department to make three good faith attempts to contact the towing company within 30 days; if unsuccessful, the $100 payment reverts to the state highway fund.

  • Repeals Section 28-4806 and eliminates the abandoned vehicle administration fund, with all collected monies deposited directly into the state highway fund.
