“Step in the Right Direction”: Connecticut DMV Commissioner Calls for More Reforms to State Towing Law to Protect Drivers
AI Summary
Connecticut DMV Commissioner Tony Guerrera is proposing further reforms to the state's towing laws to better protect vehicle owners. Following a news investigation highlighting how existing laws favored towing companies, Guerrera plans to present five recommendations to the legislature in February. These recommendations aim to improve notification processes for towed vehicles and streamline the sale of unclaimed vehicles. Key proposals include requiring towing companies to send multiple notifications to vehicle owners, standardizing the holding period before auctioning vehicles to 30 days, and mandating auction advertisements. The DMV would also create an online portal listing towed vehicles. If a vehicle receives no bids at auction and the owner appears, the towing company would be required to offer the car back to them.
