A. If a vehicle is abandoned pursuant to section 28-4802 and a fee is collected by the department, the towing company that towed the abandoned vehicle, if still in business, is entitled to receive twenty percent of the fee collected as a partial reimbursement of the costs incurred by the towing company.
B. A towing company that is owed partial reimbursement under subsection A of this section is required to register with the state's procurement office in order to qualify for payment. Failure to register with the state's procurement office will result in denial of payment and forfeiture of the payment.
C. The department shall make three good faith attempts to contact the towing company identified as having towed an abandoned vehicle pursuant to section 28-4802 in order to facilitate payment of the partial reimbursement under subsection A of this section. Notwithstanding any other law and after the good faith effort required by this subsection, if the department does not receive a response from or is unable to make contact with the towing company after thirty days, the payment is subject to forfeiture and will revert to the abandoned vehicle administration fund established by section 28-4804.
