Bill would raise fees and allow AOT to reimburse tows to speed removal of abandoned vehicles
Summary
S.326 would increase the abandoned-vehicle fee and let the Agency of Transportation pay towing companies up to $250 for tows from state rights-of-way to improve responsiveness; committee members urged clarity on interagency accounting and the distinction between public-rights-of-way and private-property removals.
The committee reviewed proposals in S.326 to address growing challenges with abandoned vehicles on state rights-of-way. Counsel explained the draft increases the per-vehicle reimbursement available to towing companies (the fee that DMV can pay) from $1.25 to $2.50 and would allow AOT to pay for a tow up to $250 and then obtain reimbursement via DMV accounting.
