Bill > H2897

This bill proposes changes to the rules regarding the maximum charges for towing vehicles, specifically addressing both commercial and non-commercial vehicles. It clarifies that while a state department will set the overall maximum towing rates, individual cities and towns can also vote to establish their own maximum rates, as long as these local rates do not exceed the state-set maximums. Additionally, the bill outlines that towing companies can charge extra fees for specific services beyond basic towing, such as winching, waiting time, clean-up, and the use of special equipment or personnel to position a disabled vehicle for towing, with these additional charges needing to be consistent with the company's normal rates and filed with the state department.
