Commercial Vehicle & Cargo Protection

Chamber Passed·5/5/25

North Carolina H472 prohibits immobilizing commercial vehicles with devices and mandates return of commercial cargo.

North Carolina H472, known as the Commercial Vehicle and Cargo Protection Act, prohibits the immobilization of commercial motor vehicles using devices such as boots, classifying such actions as misdemeanors. Additionally, it requires towers involved in nonconsensual or government-initiated towing to promptly return any commercial cargo to the owner or their designee. If the cargo is in a trailer, the tower must also allow the trailer to be exchanged with another in equal or better condition.
