Introduced Text

Massachusetts H3538 aims to reduce administrative burden for government and industry by studying and recommending improvements to the rate setting.

Massachusetts H3538 mandates the Department of Public Utilities to study and report on the current process for determining the rate of reimbursement for involuntary towing of motor vehicles. The study includes a history of rate adjustments, identification of current process issues, analysis of methods used in other states, and an examination of economic factors impacting towing companies. The Department must submit a report with recommendations and draft legislation to relevant legislative committees. The bill also requires at least two public hearings, with one occurring outside of Boston.
