California SB692 regulates the dismantlement of abandoned vehicles by public agencies.

California SB692 adds Section 22851.35 to the Vehicle Code, detailing the process for public agencies to dismantle abandoned vehicles. The bill specifies that a public agency may dismantle an abandoned vehicle if it is left in a neglected condition and either lacks signs of human habitation or is inoperable. The agency must notify the vehicle's owner and interested parties, provide a hearing opportunity, and wait at least 15 days before dismantling. The vehicle cannot be reconstructed unless it qualifies for certain license plates.
