Changes to Existing Law

Notwithstanding any statutes to the contrary, title to any abandoned or junk motor5 vehicle, any impounded vehicle, or other scrap metal shall vest in the removal agency after a6 period of thirty days from the date on which notice was sent under § 32-36-8 or if the removal agency is a law enforcement officer, the title shall vest after a period of ninety days from the date notice was sent. The record holder of title or the lien holder may reclaim the motor vehicle9 or other scrap metal. The lien holder and record holder of title shall notify the department in10 writing within thirty days of their intent to reclaim the motor vehicle. However, if the record11 holder of title fails to claim and remove the motor vehicle or other scrap metal within thirty days12 after mailing of notice, title to the vehicle is irrevocably vested in the removal agency. 100 copies were printed on recycled paper by the South DakotaLegislative Research Council at a cost of $.167 per page.v Insertions into existing statutes are indicated by underscores.Deletions from existing statutes are indicated by overstrikes.
