A bill for an act relating to towing a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, and making penalties applicable.
HF 2322 regulates towing motor vehicles without the owner's consent in Iowa. It requires towing companies to notify law enforcement within 2 hours, the owner and lienholders within 48 hours, and provide vehicle location details. The bill prevents towing companies from charging excessive storage fees, prohibits selling vehicles for 45 days (except to demolishers), and ensures owners can retrieve personal items without fees. It also mandates payment plans for low-income owners and requires proceeds from vehicle sales (after towing/storage costs) to be paid to the owner within 90 days. The bill applies specifically to non-abandoned vehicles towed without consent, not to vehicles handled under separate abandonment laws.
