LC 1996 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise tow truck regulation laws

This bill updates Montana's commercial tow truck regulations by establishing clearer definitions and classification standards for tow truck operators and equipment. It directly affects tow truck companies and drivers by requiring new equipment specifications for three vehicle classes (light, medium, and heavy-duty) and mandating that at least 75% of employees in company operations hold recognized certifications or have one year of experience in Montana. The law also revises requirements for participation in the state law enforcement rotation system, which allows tow trucks to assist police with traffic stops, and includes a transition provision for existing trucks that do not meet the new standards.
