An act relating to consumer protections related to the towing and storage of vehicles

H.768 creates the "Vermont Consumer Protection Towing Act" to establish minimum standards for towing and storage companies operating in Vermont. The bill requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to regulate towing companies, set up a consumer complaint system, and prohibit solicitation at crash scenes. It specifically mandates that net proceeds from selling abandoned vehicles must be distributed to owners through the state’s unclaimed property system. The law directly affects vehicle owners (especially those with abandoned vehicles), towing companies, and storage lots, while excluding automobile clubs, dealers, and insurance companies from its regulations.
