West Virginia Bill to Allow Titles to be Issued for Abandoned Vehicles Signed Into Law
Legislation to create a special procedure for a person in possession of an abandoned antique vehicle to apply for and receive title to the vehicle was signed into law by West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice. Under the new law, the state will search for the owner of the vehicle and provide notice that an application has been filed for title to the vehicle.
The law also creates a fair procedure for an owner to reclaim the vehicle within 30 days of notice of an application for title to the vehicle and creates a misdemeanor and imposes fines for interfering with an owner’s attempt to reclaim a vehicle. Antique motor vehicles are classified as those manufactured more than 25 years before the current date.
