 STATE OF NEW YORK

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. MATTERA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Consumer Protection

 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring
 towers to clean up any debris in the surrounding area resulting from
 the vehicles they are towing

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds and determines
 2 that often the delay caused by investigation and removal process of
 3 damaged and disabled motor vehicles from vehicle accident crash scenes
 4 results in congestion of traffic and can cause additional accidents.
 5 The legislature further finds and determines that it is of vital
 6 importance to remove damaged and disabled vehicles from the roads as
 7 promptly as possible.
 8 The legislature also finds and determines that motor vehicle accident
 9 and disablement sites, are often left in an unsafe and unclean condition
 10 after tow truck operators and emergency personnel leave the scene.
 11 The legislature determines that clean up standards and enforcement are
 12 needed to ensure public/vehicle safety is maintained and to ensure that
 13 accident and disablement scenes are left free of debris and are safe
 14 thoroughfares.
 15 Therefore, the purpose of this law is to ensure that following motor
 16 vehicle accidents and disablements, and as part of the towing services
 17 involved, that the surrounding area/scene will be swept and left clean
 18 and free from debris so as to protect the public and future vehicles
 19 traveling in the area.
 20 § 2. The general business law is amended by adding a new section 399-
 21 xxx to read as follows:
 22 § 399-xxx. Towing vehicles from an accident or disablement scene. 1.
 23 Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the
 24 following meanings:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
