AN ACT AUTHORIZING CERTAIN ORDINANCES CONCERNING STREET TAKEOVERS.
SB 1389 allows municipalities to pass local ordinances prohibiting "street takeovers" - defined as blocking traffic with intent to cause disorder or nuisance. The bill authorizes municipalities to seize and sell motor vehicles used in violations of such ordinances, with proceeds going to support local police departments or state troopers. Vehicle owners or lienholders are protected if they didn’t know the vehicle was being misused, and existing liens must be respected. This policy directly affects municipalities (which gain enforcement authority), vehicle owners involved in street takeovers, and local law enforcement (which may receive funding).
