AI Summary

This bill aims to reform tow lien laws in Massachusetts. It amends existing laws to allow tow truck operators to place a lien on vehicles that are removed from private ways or property, in addition to those removed from public roads or accident scenes. The bill also updates the language in the law to use the term "involuntarily towed or transported" instead of "removed from the scene of an accident" when referring to vehicles subject to tow liens.
