SB 17-251

signed

Department Revenue Records Insurer And Salvage Pool

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

Senate Bill 17-251 allows insurance companies and salvage pools to use an electronic system that was previously only available to tow carriers. This system helps them find the owners and lienholders of abandoned vehicles. The bill is now signed into law, meaning it has been approved by both houses of the Colorado legislature and the governor, so it will be implemented as intended.

Official Summary

Currently, a tow carrier who tows abandoned motor vehicles uses an electronic system to access department records to ascertain and notify the motor vehicle's owner and lienholder. The bill allows insurers and salvage pools to use the same system to determine a motor vehicle's owner and lienholder. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
