Dear Chair Lee, Vice Chair San Buenaventura, and Committee Members:
RE: HB 1729, HD1 Relating to Registration of Vehicles
HB 1729, HD1 would be a grant of permission to the counties, allowing them (in
their discretion) to require payment of outstanding charges related to abandoned and
derelict vehicles. While such a requirement might be of limited applicability, it certainly
seems to be an appropriate tool that the counties should have available, in order to
enhance collection of outstanding obligations.
I believe this measure was endorsed by all the county Mayors, and I ask for your
favorable vote.
Respectfully Submitted,
Harryii'{
