The bill amends the Code of West Virginia to grant tow truck companies 24-hour access to driver registration information. This change is intended to allow towing services to quickly obtain owner information, thereby minimizing the charges that accumulate for vehicle owners while the tow company seeks this information. The Department of Motor Vehicles is tasked with either altering its services or designing a new portal to facilitate this access for towing companies.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the amendments will take effect on July 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to streamline the process for tow truck drivers in accessing necessary information, enhancing efficiency in their operations and improving the experience for vehicle owners.
