House Bill 945
Chair's Name: Tom Rice
Committee: Motor Vehicles
House Sponsor: Tom Rice
HB 945 allows persons charged with providing notice to owners of towed and impounded vehicles to have direct electronic access to registration records.
This committee substitute comes to the House Floor under the Open Rule.
Chairman Rice’s opinion of this legislation:
HB 945 will address the problems of drivers, who have their vehicles towed, being able to find their vehicles online without resorting to a 911 call. This legislation is needed to enable the commission of DOR to provide vehicular identification information to selected firms who provide the computer services to link the towing industry with the identity of the owner of the towed vehicle. |
