What’s in it

This bill rewrites and reorganizes current Code section 321.89, regulating the towing, impounding, reclaiming, and selling of abandoned vehicles, and providing required notice. The bill does not amend substantive provisions under current law, but makes changes to enhance readability. The bill amends Code sections 321.88 and 321.90 to update references to Code section 321.89 by striking subsection references that are amended by the bill. The bill also defines “garagekeeper” in Code section 321.89 using the definition in H.F. _____ current Code section 321.90 and strikes the definition from Code section 321.90.
