HCS SB 824 -- VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS This bill allows peace officers the option to seize or not seize a motor vehicle that has a missing or illegible identification number and relieves the responsibility of storing a vehicle that does not have the proper identification number from the courts to the police agency investigating the circumstances surrounding the motor vehicle in question. Current law mandates law enforcement officers to seize any motor vehicle with an altered or missing public vehicle identification number despite any identifiable criminal intent.
