Revise highway and roadside service laws
This bill updates Montana's laws regarding roadside assistance and towing services to prevent solicitation at accident scenes and ensure proper documentation. It prohibits tow truck operators from soliciting services at accident sites or near disabled vehicles unless the vehicle owner has already requested help, and requires operators to carry written proof of service requests including caller information and timestamps. The legislation establishes criminal penalties and fines for violations, with escalating punishments for repeat offenses, and mandates that towing companies maintain records for three years. Additionally, the bill prohibits government employees from directing motorists to specific tow companies and amends existing rotation system regulations for law enforcement-ordered tows.
