MOTOR CARRIERS: Provides relative to the Louisiana Towing and Storage Act. (8/1/26)

SB 263 amends Louisiana's Towing and Storage Act to clarify procedures for towing and storage facilities. It requires facilities to make a "good faith effort" within five business days to identify a vehicle's owner, lienholder, and registration state using databases, vehicle tags, and reports. Facilities must then send detailed written notice to the owner and lienholder within 10 business days, including vehicle details, charges, and hearing rights. The bill also mandates specific documents for vehicle release (like titles or contracts) and requires itemized invoices showing all fees before surrendering a vehicle or personal property.
