This bill modifies the handling of abandoned vehicles in Iowa, including changes to notice requirements, fee structures, and the distribution of sale.

This bill updates Iowa's regulations on abandoned vehicles, focusing on the procedures for handling and disposing of such vehicles. It mandates that a police authority or private entity must send notice by certified mail to the last known address of the vehicle's owner and any lienholders within 10 days of taking custody of an abandoned vehicle. The bill allows private entities to charge fees for towing, preservation, and storage during the first 24 hours of custody, with additional fees not accruing until notice is sent.
