Towing, storage and sale of vehicles; bring forward code section related to.

SB 2888 (Mississippi Code Section 85-7-251) aims to revise procedures for towing, storing, and selling vehicles in Mississippi. It requires towing companies to report towed vehicles to law enforcement within 24 hours (unless requested by the owner), make good-faith efforts to locate owners after 5 business days, and notify owners via registered mail about costs within 10 days of towing. If fees remain unpaid after 30 days, towing companies may sell vehicles at public auction after 10 days, with proceeds above costs held for 6 months before going to the county general fund if unclaimed. The bill was referred to committee but died in 2026 without becoming law.
