Bill > SR212

This resolution requests the City and County of Honolulu to establish a towing authority to address concerns about high towing costs and lack of oversight. Specifically, the resolution points out that some towing companies have been accused of overcharging customers, with one example cited where a company charged $900 for every fifteen minutes of work beyond the first quarter-hour. The resolution urges the city to create a central towing authority that would divide Oahu into districts and contract with multiple towing companies to provide services in each district. Additionally, the resolution recommends that the city cancel or allow existing towing contracts to expire, with the goal of creating more efficient and transparent towing services. The request is being made by the Senate of the Thirty-third Legislature of the State of Hawaii during its 2025 Regular Session, and calls for copies of the resolution to be sent to the Mayor of Honolulu and the Chair of the Honolulu City Council.
