SB 1338: Vehicles: repossession.
What SB 1338 does, verified July 13, 2026
This bill aims to amend the vehicle code to make interfering with the transport of a vehicle to a storage facility, auction, or dealer after repossession punishable as a misdemeanor. The current law prohibits such interference but treats it as an infraction. The bill would increase the punishment for this crime, which requires the state to establish a local program to address the consequences. The state would not be required to reimburse local agencies or school districts for costs associated with implementing this change.
