Wreckers; allowing certain persons to have certain possessory lien. Effective date.
SB 721 allows wreckers and towing services to legally hold a vehicle until fees for removal, storage, or accident scene remediation are paid. It directly affects vehicle owners, lienholders, and insurers who may need to claim a vehicle. The bill clarifies that a "possessory lien" automatically forms when a wrecker takes possession of a vehicle (after public agency authorization), and requires them to follow standard sale procedures to collect fees. This change applies to vehicles towed under Oklahoma law and takes effect November 1, 2025.
