Summary

The bill changes state rules so the Department of State Police can set approved rates for towing light‑duty vehicles (10,000 lb or less) as well as medium and heavy duty. It bans per‑pound billing, requires a public tow‑company list, and tasks a committee with recommending those rates and a complaint‑resolution process. The changes affect tow companies, vehicle owners and the police by creating clearer, uniform fee standards.
