SF 845 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Commissioner of public safety prohibition from determining insurance requirements for towing vehicles

This bill prohibits Minnesota's Commissioner of Public Safety from requiring towing services to carry a minimum amount of "on-hook towing insurance" for vehicles valued under $400,000. It directly affects towing companies operating in Minnesota by removing a specific insurance requirement previously set by the Commissioner. The law amends Minnesota Statutes to prevent the Commissioner or Minnesota State Patrol from adopting rules mandating these insurance amounts, effective retroactively from August 1, 2023. This change applies to all towing services and removes a regulatory requirement for lower-value towed vehicles.
