Summary

The bill updates Washington's towing laws so that a registered tow truck operator can impound a vehicle that blocks a streetcar corridor in cities over 700,000 people, or any high‑capacity transit right‑of‑way, without delay. It requires a signed authorization from the requesting official and records the action in a master log. The changes aim to keep transit operations running smoothly and protect public safety.
