AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

When police order a vehicle towed without the owner's consent — such as after an arrest or traffic violation — this bill requires the tow company to keep the vehicle within the same county where the tow began, rather than transporting it to a more distant impound yard. Exceptions allow towing to an adjacent county if that yard is actually closer, or if law enforcement needs the vehicle held as evidence, as long as the owner is informed of the vehicle's location. The bill also expands the impound yard fencing requirement, specifying that opaque fencing is required along any side facing a paved class A, B, or C road — not just highways as the previous law stated.
