Bill > S1400

This bill establishes new rules for towing disabled vehicles in Florida, aiming to give drivers more control and ensure they receive clear information. If a vehicle is disabled and needs to be towed, and law enforcement is involved in impounding it, an officer must provide the driver with a list of towing companies to choose from, or the driver can select their own towing service. Both the law enforcement officer and the towing operator are required to inform the driver about the daily storage fees, the contact information for the storage facility, and how the owner can retrieve their vehicle. Furthermore, the towing company's storage facility must notify the vehicle's owner in writing via certified mail, and also by phone and text message, at 14, 30, and 45 business days after the vehicle arrives, reminding them that it's in storage and incurring charges. This new law will go into effect on July 1, 2026.
