An Act to prevent predatory towing fees for police-authorized tows

HD 4077 requires the Department of Utilities to set and publish maximum fees for towing and storage services provided by companies contracted with police departments. It caps fees based on vehicle size, storage time, and additional services like winching, and mandates the department update these fees every two years. Towing companies must follow these approved fees, with penalties for violations, and the Department can investigate complaints or suspend contracts for repeated non-compliance. This bill directly affects vehicle owners who have their vehicles towed by police-contracted services and aims to prevent excessive charges.
