Prohibits the parking or storing of a fully concealed vehicle on a public street
This bill prohibits parking or storing any vehicle fully covered by opaque material (hiding license plates, VIN, registration, and windows) on public streets. It requires immediate towing of violators' vehicles and allows local governments to set penalties covering towing costs. Municipalities may also release vehicles after safety checks if no threat is found, requiring payment of any imposed sanctions. The law applies directly to drivers who park concealed vehicles on public streets.
