The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) is a federal law 50 U.S.C. §§ 3901-4043 enacted in 2003 to provide financial protections for active duty military servicemembers. Tow truck operators in all 50 states, who auction vehicles to satisfy their lien for unpaid towing and storage charges and other fees, must comply with this federal law to avoid stiff penalties and hefty fines.
NOTE: Some states have additional regulations that are above and beyond the federal requirements of the SCRA. Check with your local authorities to find out if your state has additional requirements for SCRA compliance.
