AB 2280STATE · CaliforniaIntroduced

Vehicle liens.

Existing law authorizes a person to place a lien on a registered vehicle for authorized towing, storage, or labor associated with recovery or load salvage of the vehicle, among other things. This bill would clarify that provisions relating to vehicle liens do not prohibit a licensed repossession agency from filing a lien, if a lien is not in place. The bill would authorize a repossession agency to file a lien on behalf of the repossession agency, if a lien is currently in place, under specified conditions. This bill would make its provisions operative on January 1, 2029.
