The proposed bill establishes the Public Property Towing and Impound Practices Study Committee, which will consist of members from both the Senate and House of Representatives, as well as representatives from the public property towing industry and the Department of Public Safety. Specifically, it mandates that two Senate members and two House members be appointed by their respective leaders, ensuring they are from different political parties. Additionally, the committee will include representatives from a statewide towing association and a rural towing industry, with provisions for reimbursement of expenses but no compensation for members.

The committee's responsibilities include reviewing current towing fees and charges, examining qualifications for towing companies, evaluating insurance requirements, and assessing the impact of existing laws and policies related to towing. It is authorized to request data from agencies and hold public hearings. The committee is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations by December 31, 2026, and will be dissolved after September 30, 2027. This bill introduces new provisions while maintaining existing statutes related to towing practices.
