Modifies provisions relating to the towing of certain vehicles or vessels
HB 1574 modifies rules for removing abandoned vehicles or vessels from private property. It allows property owners, lessees, or security managers (who must be full-time employees) to authorize towing without police approval only if: 1) clear signage is displayed (17x22 inches, showing fees and contact info), 2) vehicles are unattended for 10+ hours on small residential property, or 3) vehicles are unattended for 96+ hours on other private property. The bill requires detailed reports documenting the vehicle, damage, location, and owner info, which must be submitted to law enforcement within 2-24 hours. This directly affects property owners, security personnel, towing companies, and vehicle owners whose vehicles are deemed abandoned under these rules.
