Bill > SCR236

This concurrent resolution requests the City and County of Honolulu to establish a towing authority to address concerns about excessive and unfair towing practices. Specifically, the resolution highlights a 2023 incident where a towing company with an exclusive contract charged customers $900 for every fifteen minutes of work beyond the first quarter-hour, demonstrating a need for greater oversight. The resolution urges the city to create a central towing authority that would divide Oahu into districts and contract with multiple towing companies for each district, thereby promoting more efficient and transparent towing services. Additionally, the resolution recommends that the city cancel existing towing contracts where possible or allow them to expire. The legislative body requests that copies of this resolution be sent to the Mayor of Honolulu and the Chair of the Honolulu City Council to ensure the recommendation receives proper attention and consideration.
