The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 367, aims to establish a working group tasked with studying roadside safety concerns related to wreckers and towing and recovery professionals. The working group will evaluate various aspects, including the appropriate color and type of lights permitted on wreckers and strategies to enhance the safety of towing professionals while they secure disabled vehicles at roadside scenes. The bill mandates that the chairpersons of the relevant joint standing committee convene this group, which must hold its first meeting within sixty days of the bill's passage.

The working group will consist of several members, including the chairpersons and ranking members of the public safety committee, the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection, the Commissioner of Transportation, and a representative from a towing and recovery organization. The group is required to select co-chairpersons and will be supported by the administrative staff of the public safety committee. By January 1, 2027, the working group must submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations, after which it will be dissolved. The bill introduces new legal language to establish this working group and does not delete any existing legal provisions.
