REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO ESTABLISH A TOWING AUTHORITY TO MANAGE TOWING SERVICES AND TOWING CONTRACTS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY AND COUNTY.

This Senate Resolution (SR 212) requests the City and County of Honolulu to create a centralized towing authority to oversee towing services and contracts. It aims to address past issues like excessive charges (e.g., $900 for 15 minutes of service) by requiring the authority to divide Oahu into districts and contract with multiple towing companies per district. The resolution also urges Honolulu to cancel or let expire existing towing contracts where feasible. This request directly affects the city government, towing companies, and residents whose vehicles are towed.
