Sellers must tell buyers if meth was manufactured in vehicle

INDIANAPOLIS (WLFI) - State legislators are working to protect people from buying a car that meth has been manufactured in.

A proposed bill would require dealers or sellers who know meth has been made in a vehicle within two years to inform a potential buyer.

State Sen. Ron Alting (R-22) said the information has to be in writing. He said if a seller does not do that, he or she will be required to reimburse the buyer the amount of money paid for the vehicle. He said the seller may also have to pay no more than $10,000 in liquidated damages.
    
Alting said more and more people seem to be making meth in their cars and sometimes get caught doing it.

"What we're finding out is, when they make raids, a lot of times, they take the automobiles and use them to make some quick cash by reselling them," Alting explained.

Alting said the bill is out of the Senate. It is waiting on a hearing in the House.
