Relating to impoundment, storage, and notification fees for vehicles stored at vehicle storage facilities; authorizing fee increases and decreases; requiring the adjustment of authorized fees.

HB 2983 sets specific fee limits for vehicle storage facilities in Texas, including a $20 impoundment fee, $20-$35 daily storage fees (based on vehicle size), and a $50 cap on notification fees. It requires annual adjustments to these fees each odd-numbered year based on the Consumer Price Index to account for inflation. The bill directly affects vehicle storage facilities (both private and government-operated) and vehicle owners who pay these fees. The bill failed to pass on May 15, 2025, after failing to advance to engrossment.
