Summary of Legislation
During the 2023 legislative interim session, the bill instructs the Transportation Legislation Review
Committee (TLRC) to analyze the issue of crime victims whose vehicles have been nonconsensually
towed, either by law enforcement or from private property. The TLRC must make recommendations
to the General Assembly and may recommend legislation as part of the interim committee bill request
process.
State Expenditures
In FY 2023-24, there will be a minimal workload increase for the Department of Public Safety,
Department of Revenue, and the Public Utilities Commission, among others, to participate in the
TLRC’s review of crime victim towing issues. This workload can be accomplished within existing
resources. The study will occur as part of the regularly scheduled committee meetings in the 2023
interim and, as such, no additional resources are required for the legislative service agencies that staff
the TLRC.
