AN ACT REQUIRING TOWING COMPANIES TO ACCEPT ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF PAYMENT.

HB 5214 requires towing companies to accept cash, checks, credit cards, or debit cards for towing and storage fees, rather than potentially limiting payment to cash only. This directly affects vehicle owners who need to pay towing charges after their car is towed and towing companies that currently provide these services. The bill amends existing law to mandate these four specific payment methods, ensuring more flexible payment options for the public. It does not change towing fees or create new requirements beyond payment acceptance.
