Amends the Labor and Storage Lien (Small Amount) Act. Provides that if an automotive collision and body repair facility or an automotive repair facility has a lien for storage or repairs against a vehicle that has been in its possession for 30 days or more and the vehicle is an abandoned junk vehicle or a hazardous dilapidated motor vehicle the facility may sell the vehicle after mailing, with return receipt requested, a Notice and Affidavit of Abandonment to the reported owner, any assignee, other lienor, or other person with a duly recorded security interest in the vehicle.
