Enacts provisions relating to towing of commercial vehicles

HB 1741 regulates nonconsensual towing of commercial vehicles (those over 10,000 pounds) in Missouri. It requires the Department of Transportation to establish procedures for handling complaints from owners, operators, or insurers about unfair towing practices, including detailed invoice requirements and a disciplinary system for violating towing companies. Key provisions ban per-pound charging, stop storage fees once a complaint is filed, prohibit liens on vehicles/cargo from nonconsensual tows, and mandate towing companies provide access for property retrieval or accident investigations. The bill directly affects commercial vehicle owners, towing companies, and law enforcement agencies handling roadside recoveries.
