tion. (1) Before a vehicle immobilization company immobilizes a vehicle, the company shall document the vehicle's condition and the reason for the immobilization by:

(2)
- (a) Upon demand by an authorized or interested person, the vehicle immobilization company shall provide copies of the photographs required to be taken by subsection (1) of this section to the authorized or interested person.
(b)
(I) A rebuttable presumption that a vehicle immobilization company damaged a vehicle is created by evidence that:
- (A) The vehicle immobilization company has failed to produce photographs of the vehicle's condition in compliance with subsection (2)(a) of this section; and
- (B) The vehicle has suffered damage.
- (II) A vehicle immobilization company's failure to produce a photograph of the reason for the immobilization in compliance with subsection (2)(a) of this section creates a rebuttable presumption that the vehicle immobilization company did not have authorization to immobilize a vehicle.
