AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan vehicle code to provide guidelines for towing rates and practices. It defines a "towing agency" and adds new sections regulating the towing and storage of damaged, disabled, and abandoned vehicles. Key provisions include:
- Requiring towing agencies to be licensed and comply with disclosure, invoicing, and record-keeping requirements when towing and storing vehicles.
- Establishing requirements for tow truck operators, including markings, licenses, and hours of operation.
- Prohibiting towing agencies from engaging in certain practices like monitoring private property to identify vehicles to tow.
- Allowing vehicle owners to contest towing and storage fees and imposing penalties on towing agencies for violations.
- Requiring police agencies to use rotation lists when contacting towing agencies to remove vehicles from public property.
The bill also repeals an existing section related to soliciting towing business at accident scenes and makes the entire act contingent on the enactment of a related bill.
