An Act authorizing cities and towns to establish reduced maximum tow rates during certain declared emergencies

HD 3192 allows cities and towns to set reduced maximum fees for towing vehicles during declared emergencies like snowstorms, natural disasters, or extreme weather events. If adopted, the reduced rate would be half of the normal maximum towing fee charged by the city/town for parking violations ordered by police. This applies only to the portion of the fee collected by the municipality, not the full tow cost, and requires cities to include the reduced rate in contracts with tow service providers. The bill directly affects local governments, residents facing towing during emergencies, and tow companies operating under municipal contracts. It does not change towing fees outside of declared emergency periods.
