Towing fees; Commonwealth Trespass Towing Rate-Setting Advisory Panel established. Creates the Commonwealth Trespass Towing Rate-Setting Advisory Panel to advise the General Assembly and the Governor on statewide trespass towing fees and related ancillary fees. The bill increases from $150 to $190 the maximum statewide hookup and initial towing fee of any passenger car, from $30 to $65 the maximum ancillary fee for towing a vehicle between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., and from $30 to $35 the maximum ancillary fee for towing a vehicle on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.
