An Act relative to tow lien reform
HD 394 amends Massachusetts towing lien laws to include vehicles involuntarily towed from private property. The bill replaces the phrase "removed from the scene of an accident" in lien statutes with "involuntarily towed or transported," ensuring towing from private property (like driveways) is covered under the same lien rules. This change affects vehicle owners who have cars towed from private property and towing companies that enforce these liens. The bill clarifies the scope of towing liens without altering the underlying process.
