Towing companies; revise notice provisions to owners and lienholder, authorize civil penalty.

SB 2462 revises notice requirements for towing companies regarding towed vehicles, requiring them to notify owners and lienholders within specific timelines. Towing companies must make a "good faith effort" to locate owners within 5 business days and send written notice of towing costs by registered mail within 7 days of towing. Failure to comply bars towing charges and imposes civil penalties: $1,000 for the first offense and $2,000 for subsequent violations. The bill also mandates towing companies maintain 3-year records of all towing and notification actions.
