AI Summary

This bill aims to provide additional protections for vehicle owners when their vehicles are towed. It amends existing laws to require that no other charges can be assessed beyond the towing and storage fees, and that motor vehicle storage facilities must allow owners to retrieve personal possessions from their vehicles even if they cannot pay the full towing and storage fees. The bill also mandates that tow operators must have a credit card reader and accept credit/debit card payments, in addition to cash, for removal and storage charges. Additionally, the bill requires that tow operators provide an itemized receipt that includes the current removal and storage fees as defined by the department.
