House Bill No. by Representative Dickerson aims to regulate consensual noncommercial towing in Louisiana by requiring a permit issued by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS&C), office of motor vehicles (OMV). The bill defines "consensual noncommercial towing" as the noncommercial movement of a vehicle with the owner's prior consent and establishes that "noncommercial towing" refers to the transportation of personal property for private or recreational purposes. Under the proposed law, individuals engaging in consensual noncommercial towing must adhere to specific requirements, including the use of hazard lights, reflectors, signage indicating towing, and proper towing equipment.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the permit must be visibly attached to the vehicle being towed. Violations of these regulations will incur a fine of $1,000, payable to the Louisiana State Police. The OMV is also granted the authority to create rules and regulations necessary for the implementation of these provisions. This legislation seeks to enhance safety and accountability in the practice of consensual noncommercial towing on Louisiana's highways and roadways.
