HB1382

Mississippi HB1382 revises notification requirements for towing companies before selling towed vehicles.

Mississippi HB1382 amends the notification requirements for towing companies before selling towed vehicles. It mandates towing companies to notify owners and lienholders by certified mail using a third-party vendor. If the vehicle is not reclaimed within ten days after the second certified letter, the towing company may sell it at public auction. The bill also allows towing companies to retain possession of vehicles until charges are paid if the owner's identity or address cannot be determined.
