WA HB2744

Vehicle dealers must now file a report of sale on behalf of owners who trade in, sell, or transfer vehicle ownership to the dealer, changing the requirement from optional to mandatory

Dealers filing on behalf of owners must collect and remit the fees required under RCW 46.17.050 from the owner in addition to any other applicable fees

Trading in, selling, or transferring a vehicle to a dealer who files the required report of sale relieves the previous owner of liability for costs associated with abandoned vehicles, including towing, storage, and disposal

The bill amends RCW 46.12.650 and 46.55.105 to align abandoned vehicle liability provisions with the new mandatory dealer reporting requirement
