Bill Summary

To require towing companies to accept alternative forms of payment for towing and storage charges.

AI Summary

This bill requires towing companies to accept multiple forms of payment for their services, specifically mandating that they must accept cash, check, credit card, and debit card when charging for towing and vehicle storage. The proposed legislation amends an existing section of Connecticut's general statutes to expand payment options for consumers, ensuring that individuals have more flexibility when paying for towing services. By requiring towing companies to accept these alternative payment methods, the bill aims to provide more convenience and accessibility for people who may have different preferences or limitations in how they can pay for towing and storage charges. The bill represents a consumer-friendly approach to regulating towing services by preventing companies from restricting payment methods and potentially making it easier for vehicle owners to retrieve their towed vehicles.
