AN ACT CONCERNING CONSUMER PROTECTION FOR NONCONSENSUAL TOWING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.

HB 5642 requires residential property owners or managers to place a detailed sticker on vehicles 24 hours before towing them from the property, including the removal time, reason, authorization contact, and how to avoid towing. It exempts towing for vehicles in disabled spaces (without proper placards), blocking exits, or in non-parking areas, and prohibits towing vehicles with removable windshield placards or special license plates. This bill directly affects residential complex owners/managers and residents whose vehicles might be towed without consent. The key change is mandating clear, advance notice to prevent unexpected towing.
