SB 2668 enhances regulations for vehicle storage facilities and the sale of abandoned vehicles. It requires proof of notice delivery for abandoned vehicles using certified mail receipts or undeliverable return notices. It mandates that operators of vehicle storage facilities sell abandoned vehicles through approved Internet auction websites overseen by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. The department will establish rules for online sales, including requirements for listing vehicles and prohibiting the sale of flood-damaged vehicles without proper disclosure. The bill also exempts storage fees from being included in the taxable amount when abandoned vehicles are sold​.
