Mississippi HB18 requires towing companies to record specific information from anyone requesting their services.
Mississippi HB18 amends the Mississippi Code to mandate that towing companies record the name, phone number, and/or email address of the person who requests their services, along with the nature of the request. This applies to requests made by the vehicle owner, a law enforcement officer, or a property owner. Failure to record this information results in a waiver of all storage and towing fees unless the company can prove the request was made by the vehicle owner. The bill also outlines procedures for handling abandoned vehicles and the sale of towed vehicles.
