Public Safety - Department of State Police - Police-Initiated Towing - Alterations

Summary

The bill expands the Maryland State Police’s towing program to cover light‑duty vehicles (10,000 lb GVWR or less) and sets a ceiling that their approved rates cannot exceed 80 % of the rates for medium‑duty towing. It also requires tow companies on the state’s authorized list to stop per‑pound billing and establishes a process for rate setting and complaint resolution. The changes affect towing firms, vehicle owners, and the State Police’s towing operations.
