Modifying the chattel lien process.

Summary

  • Establishes procedures for challenging frivolous or excessive chattel liens.
  • Requires a lien holder, when selling property under the summary foreclosure process, to disclose the existence of any known security interest or prior lien.
  • Specifies that the purchaser of property in a summary foreclosure proceeding takes the property subject to any superior lien or security interest and, in the case of property requiring a certificate of title from the Department of Licensing (DOL), the superior lien or security interest must be reflected in the new certificate of title.
  • Prohibits the DOL from transferring a vehicle title through the chattel lien process unless certain documentation is submitted to the DOL.
