S 2185 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the maximum storage charges on motor vehicles involuntarily towed

This bill amends Massachusetts law to increase the maximum storage fee for involuntarily towed vehicles from $35 to $48. The change directly affects vehicle owners whose cars have been towed and tow truck operators who charge these fees. By updating the specific dollar amount in the relevant statute, the legislation allows for higher storage charges while maintaining the existing legal framework for involuntary towing.
