Ohio SB304 amends motor vehicle towing and storage laws, clarifying owner and lienholder responsibilities.

Ohio SB304 amends the Revised Code to clarify the responsibilities of vehicle owners and lienholders regarding towing and storage. The bill specifies that owners can retrieve personal items from a towed vehicle without reclaiming the vehicle itself, provided it does not interfere with a criminal investigation. Owners and lienholders must pay a processing fee if they reclaim the vehicle after it has been stored. The bill also exempts lienholders from liability for towing and storage costs if they do not reclaim the vehicle.
