AI Summary
This bill seeks to establish the maximum charges that can be levied by towing companies for the towing of commercial and non-commercial vehicles when ordered by police or other public authorities. It allows cities and towns to set their own maximum rates for towing, but those rates cannot exceed the maximum set by the state Department. The bill also outlines that towing companies can charge additional fees for certain services like winching, waiting time, and the use of special equipment, but those fees must not exceed the company's normal rates charged to similarly situated customers, and the maximum rate for these additional fees must also be filed with the Department.
