This bill protects law enforcement officers and towing companies from being sued for damage to disabled vehicles when they remove them from highways or roadways—as long as they're not grossly negligent or reckless. Vehicle owners remain responsible for paying the removal costs and can only sue if the removal was done with gross negligence or intentional misconduct, not for ordinary mistakes or minor damage.
