AN ACT CONCERNING THE RATES AND CHARGES FOR NONCONSENSUAL TOWING.

SB 295 requires Connecticut's Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to adjust state-set rates for nonconsensual towing (towing without a vehicle owner's permission) by considering additional operational costs. The bill mandates the Commissioner factor in expenses like fuel, equipment, personnel, insurance, and workers' compensation when establishing uniform towing and storage fees. This directly affects towing companies (which set rates) and vehicle owners (who pay these fees when towed). The policy change aims to align state-mandated rates with actual business costs incurred by towing providers.
