SB 582 Summary

• Modifies procedures for service liens on titled personal property ("Section 91 Personal Property") including vehicles, motorcycles, boats, and manufactured homes, requiring claimants to comply with strict notification and documentation requirements within specified timeframes (e.g., 60 days for initial lien notice, 10-30 days before foreclosure sale).

• Establishes consequences for non-compliance with lien procedures: failure to meet requirements results in denial of title applications and subordination of the lien to any perfected lien, with one opportunity to resubmit within 15 business days.

• Requires claimants to provide detailed written notices including itemized charges, proof of authorization for work performed, photographs of titled property, and certified mail documentation with return receipts to all interested parties.

• Creates a felony offense for knowingly making false statements regarding services rendered or fraudulently attempting to foreclose on an owner's or lienholder's interest using this section.

• Applies exclusively to property with active liens or other specified conditions; establishes separate procedures under Section 91A for untitled property and provides exceptions for salvage pools and certain law enforcement-directed tows.
