Bill Summary
AN ACT TO END PREDATORY TOWING FEES AND PRACTICES.
AI Summary
This bill aims to end predatory towing fees and practices in North Carolina. It adds a new section to the state's General Statutes to regulate towing fees and practices. The key provisions include: requiring towing companies to charge reasonable and not excessive fees, which must be clearly disclosed before towing; prohibiting towing to locations that don't offer 24-hour vehicle recovery; limiting storage fees for days when the company is closed; requiring towing companies to accept debit, credit, and cash payments; and authorizing the Attorney General to adopt rules, assess civil penalties, and take enforcement action against violations. The bill also appropriates funds to the Department of Justice to implement these new requirements.
