This bill allows the counties of Alameda and Los Angeles to create a process for disposing of recreational vehicles (RVs) valued at $4,000 or less. It requires the counties to notify the registered owners of the RV and provide a 30-day window to claim it. If the RV isn't claimed, the county can dispose of it, but only after a hearing to determine if it was abandoned or a hazard, and with specific requirements for notifications and record-keeping.
