prohibiting the division of motor vehicles from suspending a license on the basis of debt owed to a private entity related to the towing or storing of a motor vehicle.
HB 414 prevents license suspensions for drivers who owe unpaid fees to private towing or storage companies. It directly affects drivers who have vehicles towed or stored by private entities and face license suspension over those debts. The bill prohibits state authorities from suspending licenses solely due to such private debt, requiring debt resolution through other legal channels instead. This policy change would shift enforcement from license suspension to civil remedies for unresolved towing/storage fees.
