Bill > SCR222

This concurrent resolution requests the Office of Consumer Protection (OCP) of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs to establish a task force to examine payment options for tow companies. The resolution highlights that towing services are critical for public safety, but vehicle owners often face challenges retrieving their towed vehicles due to limited payment methods. The task force will assess the availability and accessibility of payment options, with the goal of ensuring fair and transparent towing practices. The OCP is asked to invite appropriate stakeholders to participate in the task force and to submit a report with findings and recommendations, including potential legislation, to the legislature at least 20 days before the 2026 Regular Session. The resolution notes that having on-site automated teller machines (ATMs) could provide additional payment options and reduce delays in vehicle retrieval. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the Director of Transportation and the Executive Director of the OCP.
