Towing Companies; revise notification requirements.
HB 1511 revises notification requirements for towing companies in Mississippi. It requires towing companies to report towed vehicles to law enforcement within 24 hours (unless requested by the owner), locate vehicle owners within 5 business days using available records, and send registered mail notifications about towing fees by the 7th day after towing. If fees remain unpaid for 20 days, companies must send certified mail about potential vehicle sales, with proceeds held for 6 months before going to the county general fund if unreclaimed. The bill also mandates towing companies maintain 3-year records of all towing activities and compliance efforts. This directly affects towing companies and vehicle owners by clarifying and tightening notification timelines and procedures.
