 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to setting maximum
 rates that may be charged for the towing and subsequent storage of a
 motor vehicle

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

 1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
 2 399-xxx to read as follows:
 3 § 399-xxx. Passenger car towing rates. 1. (a) For the purposes of this
 4 section, a "passenger car" is a vehicle with a maximum gross vehicle
 5 weight under forty-five hundred pounds.
 6 (b) Except as provided in subdivision two of this section or any other
 7 provision of law, charges for the towing of passenger vehicles shall not
 8 exceed one hundred dollars plus all tolls required to be paid while
 9 towing the vehicle. If a motor vehicle has been booted by a person duly
 10 licensed to do so in a private lot and such vehicle is subsequently
 11 towed, no additional charge may be imposed for the towing of such vehi-
 12 cle.
 13 (c) The rates in this section shall not apply to the towing of motor
 14 vehicles pursuant to a contract which was in existence prior to the need
 15 for the towing of such vehicles, provided that such motor vehicles are
 16 either owned or leased by the person who entered into such contract.
 17 (d) The provisions of this section shall not apply to cities having a
 18 population of one million or more.
 19 2. Charges for the towing of disabled passenger vehicles from an
 20 arterial roadway by an arterial tow permittee shall be one hundred twen-
 21 ty-five dollars for the first ten miles or fraction thereof, four

 3 3. Except as otherwise provided, charges for storage of towed vehicles
 4 shall not exceed twenty-five dollars for each twenty-four-hour period or
 5 fraction thereof for the first three days of storage and twenty-seven
 6 dollars for the fourth day of storage and each day thereafter.
 7 4. (a) Where unusual preparation is required before a vehicle can be
 8 towed, additional charges may be imposed not to exceed twelve dollars
 9 per tow truck for each quarter hour or part thereof, provided, however,
 10 that no such charge may be imposed or collected for the towing of a
 11 vehicle involved in an accident from the scene of such accident. Unusual
 12 preparation includes winching or righting a vehicle or any other prepa-
 13 ration necessary to put the vehicle in a position where it can be hooked
 14 or raised to the tow truck.
