This bill amends various sections of the Minnesota Statutes related to motor vehicle towing authority. It introduces a new definition of "properly posted" in section 168B.011, which specifies the requirements for signage indicating that unauthorized vehicles may be towed. The sign must be prominently located, unobstructed, and must clearly state the conditions under which a vehicle is considered unauthorized, as well as provide information about the towing entity and the vehicle's impound location.

Additionally, the bill modifies section 168B.035 to clarify that property owners can arrange for the towing of unauthorized vehicles, and it updates section 168B.04 to include new limitations on vehicle towing from private property. Specifically, it requires that a vehicle tower can only impound a vehicle if the property owner or their designee identifies the vehicle and provides specific authorization for the towing. These changes aim to enhance the clarity and regulation of towing practices on both public and private properties.
