Staff Analysis of the Legislation

The initial HB 228 was far-reaching and preempted local zoning, signage, and regulation of tow trucks. The third substitute is more limited. As of January 2, 2021, cities may not charge towing companies a fee to be included in a towing rotation, tow trucks in rotation must send a truck that is owned by the dispatched company, and cities must provide an appeals process for towing companies that are suspended or removed from a towing rotation.
