Requires the property owner or other person in lawful possession or control of the property, or his or her authorized agent, to make all reasonable efforts to provide the vehicle owner or other legally authorized person in control of a vehicle personal notice prior to removal of the vehicle. Requires that personal notice must be provided at least 3 hours prior to the removal of the vehicle. Provides that a vehicle owner or other legally authorized person in control of a vehicle that is aggrieved by a violation of the notice provisions may commence a civil action in the appropriate circuit court not later than 2 years after the date of the vehicle relocation and may recover from the property owner or other person in possession or control of the property, or his or her authorized agent, damages resulting from the violation, including, but not limited to: towing charges and storage charges accrued in connection with the relocated vehicle; loss of the vehicle; and costs and attorney's fees.
