This bill protects law enforcement officers and towing companies from lawsuits when they remove disabled vehicles from highways or public areas, as long as they aren't grossly negligent or intentionally reckless. The vehicle owner remains responsible for paying the costs of removal, and officers are required to also clear any spilled cargo or debris that poses a safety hazard.
