Bill > HF454

This bill prohibits the commissioner of public safety and the Minnesota State Patrol from establishing mandatory insurance requirements for tow trucks when towing vehicles valued under $400,000. The bill specifically addresses "on-hook towing insurance," which is defined as liability insurance that covers a vehicle while it is attached or connected to a tow truck. By preventing the state from mandating specific insurance coverage levels for these lower-value vehicles, the bill aims to potentially reduce regulatory burden on towing services. The legislation would take effect retroactively from August 1, 2023, and would apply to any orders issued on or after that date. The bill proposes to add this provision as a new section to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 168B, which deals with motor vehicle regulations.
