HB867:

Private towing; one-hour limitation.

Bill Summary:

Private towing; one-hour limitation. Prohibits
private towing from a parking lot or area where there is no fee for
parking within one hour of the vehicle's being parked. The bill creates
exemptions for vehicles parked in a manner that is otherwise prohibited
by law or vehicles parked in residential parking or in spaces reserved
for hotel or motel guests. The bill provides that a person in violation
of this requirement is civilly liable to the owner of the vehicle
or his agent for double the amount of the towing and storage fees
incurred. The bill requires local ordinances authorizing private
towing to contain the same requirements.
