2021 House Bill 4239

Revise vehicle “immobilization” after arrest

Introduced in the House

Feb. 11, 2021

Introduced by Rep. Mike Mueller (R-51)

To revise details of the requirement that a vehicle be “immobilized” after certain offenses where police detain the driver. Currently, that involves taking the license plate and issuing a temporary plate. The bill would eliminate the requirement that a temporary plate be issued, essentially making the vehicle unusable until the violation is adjudicated or the vehicle is sold outside the family.
