This bill died with 94th Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

The amendment to SB 2808 clarifies the conditions under which law enforcement can authorize the towing of abandoned vehicles. Specifically, it sets different time frames for when vehicles can be removed depending on their location: 2 hours on highways, 10 hours in urban areas, and 24 hours in rural areas. This change is important because it helps ensure that vehicles creating hazards can be removed more quickly, improving safety on the roads.
