AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing law by adding a new sentence to Section 6B of Chapter 159B, which deals with towing. Specifically, it mandates that the Department of Public Utilities (DPU), the state agency responsible for regulating utilities and transportation, must issue a decision on any written request to adjust the maximum towing charges within 12 months of receiving that request. This aims to establish a clear deadline for the DPU's response, ensuring timely resolution of towing rate adjustments.
