❌ SB304
Regards lienholder duty for motor vehicle towing, storage charges
Summary
This bill amends section 4513.61 of the Revised Code to establish lienholder responsibilities for payment of towing and storage charges for motor vehicles. It requires law enforcement to notify vehicle owners and lienholders about the towing and potential disposal of vehicles if not claimed within ten days. The bill also specifies the conditions under which vehicles can be towed and the fees associated with reclaiming them.
Rationale
The bill imposes additional responsibilities on lienholders and establishes government procedures for towing and storage, which may conflict with Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and property rights. Both LP and LPO platforms emphasize limited government and individual rights, suggesting that this bill may not align well with their core tenets.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government control over private property
- Imposes financial burdens on vehicle owners and lienholders
- Potential for abuse in towing practices
