MOTOR VEHICLES: Requires tow truck companies to be open seven days a week. (8/1/26)

The session year was changed from 2025 to 2026, and the bill number was updated to SLS 26RS-714.

A digest section was added to summarize the bill's purpose and effective date.

Formatting and layout were altered to convert the document from an enrolled final version to an original draft version.

Changed the bill status from 'Reengrossed' to 'Enrolled', indicating the final version approved by both legislative chambers and the Governor.

Updated the descriptive summary in the title to reflect the addition of subsections (G) through (I) instead of just (G) and (H).

Reorganized the statutory text by splitting the previous subsection (H) into two distinct subsections, (H) and (I), to clarify the separation between rules for exempted hours and rules for administrative fees.

Deleted the 'Digest' section and 'Summary of Amendments' which contained explanatory notes about the legislative history and committee changes, as these are no longer part of the final enrolled law.

Changed the Saturday and Sunday opening requirement from a strict mandate to open for four hours to an optional provision.

Added a new requirement that companies conducting nonconsensual private property tows must be available to release vehicles within 90 minutes of a request outside normal business hours.

Added a penalty prohibiting companies from charging storage fees for the day if they fail to meet the 90-minute availability requirement, with fees suspended until the next business day.
