Revise resident preferences for public contracts and contract term limits
HB 113 clarifies which personal items inside a towed or stored motor vehicle are exempt from being held as part of a towing and storage lien. The bill specifies that food and perishable goods are exempt only if they are consumer products not intended for resale. It also explicitly exempts prescription items, original identifying documents, financial instruments like cash or credit cards, certain personal and business records, and child safety items. This aims to provide clearer guidelines for tow truck operators and vehicle owners regarding property subject to or exempt from these liens.
