AB 987: Vehicles: storage and towing.

This bill amends existing laws regarding vehicle storage and towing fees. The law requires that storage fees charged during the first 15 days of possession be reasonable, but beyond that period, only charges made after 3 days of written notification to the owner are allowed. Existing law also makes insurers liable for reasonable storage and towing fees if a vehicle is towed and stored due to an accident or theft. The bill expands the list of presumptively unreasonable fees to include charges for state holidays exceeding the standard rate and towing fees when a law enforcement officer directs the removal of a vehicle during a state or local emergency.
