Kansas City's Driving Bill of Rights ordinance took effect January 1, 2026, requiring all tow companies to log every vehicle they take on a citywide platform and establishing $1,000 penalties for operators who tow illegally, according to Tow Industry Week. The ordinance was designed to combat what city officials described as unfair fees and unauthorized towing practices.
Operator takeaway
Expect similar logging mandates in other cities — document every tow with timestamps, authorization, and vehicle details before your market requires it.
