A 4158 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the seizure and redemption of vehicles used in illegal races, exhibitions or contests of speed

Bill A 4158 establishes procedures for police to seize vehicles used in illegal street races, speed contests, or exhibitions. Owners must provide proof of registration, pay storage and towing costs, and resolve related criminal charges to reclaim a seized vehicle. If not claimed within 30 days after notification, vehicles are forfeited to local authorities, with exceptions for stolen vehicles or short-term rentals (30 days or less). This directly affects drivers involved in illegal racing and local police departments handling impoundments.
