GA SB541

Prohibits any person, county, or municipality from installing or attaching wheel restraints (boots or locks) to trespassing vehicles on private property, punishable by a $1,000 fine

Creates a new legal distinction between "wheel restraints" (boots/locks attached to wheels, now prohibited) and "immobilization devices" (other mechanical devices that may still be used with proper permits)

Maintains existing requirements that only Department of Public Safety-permitted operators in jurisdictions that have authorized immobilization by ordinance may use immobilization devices on trespassing vehicles

Preserves property owners' rights to have trespassing vehicles towed and stored, with required conspicuous posting of notice including contact information, fees, and recovery location

Retains existing penalties including $1,000 fines for automatic surveillance agreements and for paying property owners for immobilization/removal rights, with minimum $100 actual damages (trebled for intentional violations) available to injured parties
