Sec.14-63-36a. Approved rates and charges

The commissioner shall publish a list of uniform rates and charges for the nonconsensual towing and transporting of motor vehicles, and for storage of motor vehicles, which he has determined to be just and reasonable. The commissioner may consider factors such as rates set by other jurisdictions, towing services provided by contract with automobile clubs and associations, operating costs of the towing and recovery industry in Connecticut, single source contracts resulting from competitive bids on behalf of municipalities and business entities, and rates published in standard service manuals. Such list of rates and charges shall be distributed to each licensed wrecker service, and to other interested parties, upon request. Such rates and charges shall be the maximum rates and charges that the commissioner shall permit for the nonconsensual towing and transporting of motor vehicles, and for storage of motor vehicles, in accordance with subsection (a) of section 14-66 of the general statutes and sections 14-63-36b and 14-63-36c.
