AN ACT CONCERNING THE PROOF OF OWNERSHIP FOR THE RELEASE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN TOWED.

SB 280 allows vehicle owners (or their authorized representatives) to use a vehicle's certificate of title as proof of ownership to retrieve a towed car. This replaces current requirements for other documents when the owner needs to move the vehicle to a new location. The bill specifically permits this method only for the limited purpose of towing the vehicle elsewhere, not for general release. It directly affects anyone whose vehicle is towed and must be relocated. The change simplifies the process for owners to regain control of their towed vehicle.
