SD 28 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to towing protections

This bill prohibits towing and storage facilities from charging fees beyond the standard towing and storage costs. It requires facilities to let vehicle owners remove personal belongings without full payment and mandates they accept credit/debit cards (not just cash) for fees. Tow operators must also have card readers in tow vehicles and provide itemized receipts showing current department-defined fees upon payment. These changes directly affect vehicle owners, storage facilities, and towing companies by standardizing fees and payment methods.
