Enacts provisions relating to towing of commercial vehicles

HB 745 regulates nonconsensual towing of commercial vehicles (those over 10,000 pounds gross weight) by requiring the Missouri Department of Transportation to establish complaint procedures and standards. It mandates towing companies to include specific invoice details (like service times and complaint instructions), bans per-pound fees, and stops storage charges once a complaint is filed. The bill directly affects commercial vehicle owners/operators (who gain complaint rights), towing companies (subject to fines up to $25,000 per violation), and law enforcement (required to honor owner-requested towing companies unless safety delays exist). Key provisions include a disciplinary matrix for violations, prohibiting liens on vehicles, and requiring towing companies to provide access for accident investigations or cargo retrieval.
