A 4146 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes the crime of theft of an impounded vehicle

This bill makes it a class A misdemeanor to remove a vehicle that's been legally impounded (taken into custody) without paying required fees. It directly affects individuals who move such vehicles - like owners or tow operators - without settling costs. The law creates a new criminal offense specifically for unauthorized removal of impounded vehicles. Violators face penalties under this new provision, which becomes effective immediately upon enactment.
