S 165 Vermont Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to stolen motor vehicles and drug paraphernalia

This bill requires insurance companies to classify a stolen vehicle as a total loss if drug paraphernalia used for intravenous drug use is found inside it when recovered. The measure directly affects property damage claims by establishing a specific condition under which vehicles are deemed totaled, regardless of their physical condition. If enacted, the law would take effect immediately upon passage and would apply to claims involving stolen vehicles where illicit drug use equipment is discovered. The provision aims to address insurance claims procedures rather than penalize vehicle owners or users.
