Overview
This bill creates a new process for vehicle registration renewal. If a vehicle owner has received multiple notices of delinquent illegal dumping violations, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will refuse to renew the vehicle’s registration. Additionally, vehicles can be immobilized if the owner has received a certain number of delinquent illegal dumping notices or is known to have failed to pay or appear in court for those violations. This aims to deter illegal dumping by linking vehicle registration to compliance with environmental regulations.
Key provisions
- The DMV will refuse to renew vehicle registration for owners with multiple delinquent illegal dumping notices.
- Vehicles can be immobilized if the owner has received a specified number of delinquent illegal dumping notices.
- Vehicle immobilization requires the owner to provide identification, address, and proof of payment of all outstanding penalties.
- A court abstract or notice of disposition must be provided to renters or lessors to clear outstanding penalties.
- The bill allows an exception for vehicles not operated if the owner owes penalties and is on a payment plan.
- The DMV can't refuse registration renewal for vehicles where the violation occurred before the owner took possession.
- The DMV can transmit remaining funds collected from penalties to the appropriate court.
- A peace officer or code enforcement employee can immobilize a vehicle meeting specific criteria.
