Bill summary
Amends GS 20-219.11 to require a tower who is towing a vehicle as provided in GS 20-219.10 to provide the following information to the local 911 call center before moving the vehicle: (1) a description of the vehicle, (2) the place from which the vehicle was towed, (3) the place where the vehicle will be stored, and (4) the contact information for the person from whom the vehicle owner may retrieve the vehicle. This notice is in addition to the required notice to the last known registered owner. Provides that if the vehicle is impeding the flow of traffic or otherwise jeopardizing the public welfare so that immediate towing is necessary, the notice to the local 911 call center may be provided within 30 minutes of moving the vehicle rather than before moving the vehicle. If a caller to a local 911 call center can provide the information required under subdivisions (1) and (2) of this subsection, then a local 911 call center must provide to the caller the information provided under subdivisions (3) and (4) of this subsection. Requires the local 911 call center to keep the information required under this subsection for no less than 30 days from the date on which the tower provided the information to the local 911 call center.
Effective October 1, 2013.
