Bill > H3481

This bill modifies the existing law related to maximum storage charges for motor vehicles that have been involuntarily towed by changing a specific numerical limit. Specifically, the bill amends Section 6B of chapter 159B of the Massachusetts General Laws by increasing the maximum storage charge from $35 to $49. This change means that towing companies will now be legally permitted to charge up to $49 per day for storing a vehicle that has been towed against the owner's will, which represents an increase of $14 from the previous limit. The modification appears to be a straightforward adjustment to reflect potentially increased costs of vehicle storage, though the precise rationale for the specific dollar amount is not provided in the bill text. By updating this storage charge limit, the legislation aims to align the maximum fee with current economic conditions for towing and vehicle storage services.
