Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the maximum storage charges on motor vehicles involuntarily towed. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill modifies an existing law regarding storage charges for motor vehicles that have been involuntarily towed by changing the maximum number of hours a towing company can charge storage fees from 35 hours to 48 hours. Specifically, the bill amends Section 6B of Chapter 159B of the Massachusetts General Laws, which governs towing regulations. By increasing the time period before storage charges can be applied, the bill provides tow yard operators with a longer window to store a vehicle before incurring additional fees, potentially giving vehicle owners more time to retrieve their vehicles without accruing extra storage charges. This change could provide some financial relief to vehicle owners who may need extra time to arrange payment or transportation to recover a towed vehicle.
