A bill for an act relating to towing or impounding vehicles, and making penalties applicable.

HF 2483 regulates towing and impounding of vehicles in Iowa, directly affecting tow companies and property owners (like parking lot operators). It requires tow operators to obtain owner consent before towing (with safety exceptions), post clear signage, document vehicles with photos, and maintain detailed records. The bill limits fees (no storage charge for the first 24 hours, max $20 if towing stops early), mandates 24-hour owner notifications with location and fee details, and requires tow companies to display rates and provide complaint instructions. Vehicle owners gain rights to record towing actions, retrieve personal property without fees, and receive itemized billing.
