What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, any municipality or county may enact ordinances

prohibiting any unregistered motor vehicle from being located upon a highway and

governing the immobilization, removal, and disposal of unregistered motor vehicles.

Current law defines “immobilization device" as a device or mechanism that

immobilizes a motor vehicle by locking around a wheel, thereby making the motor

vehicle inoperable.

This bill applies a definition of “immobilization device" that does not contain a

reference to a device being locked around a wheel. The bill also authorizes a county,

municipality, or university to enter into a contract with a person that authorizes the

person to immobilize motor vehicles.
