This resolution directs the Intergovernmental Relationss Division-Department of Administration to seek the development and passage of state legislation authorizing municipalities to adopt ordinances and procedures for regulating the unruly, dangerous and disorderly assemblage of vehicles upon streets, highways and public places including authority to impound vehicles operated in a disorderly assemblage or whose operator is engaged in disorderly conduct including conduct that allows passengers or occupants of the vehicle to engage in disorderly or disruptive conduct while on streets, highways and public places. The legislation sought will authorize removal and impoundment of vehicles engaged in a disorderly assemblage and will authorize the adoption of ordinances and procedures to condition release and return of such vehicles to owners upon the payment of forfeitures. Under the proposed legislation, unpaid towing costs, fees, other related costs and forfeitures will be treated as a lien or claim against the property of the vehicle operated in a disorderly assemblage.
