Title An Act amending provisions of the Prince George's County Code concerning towing regulations and procedures for providing notice of vehicle impoundment from private property Background This bill requires that tow companies, instead of the County, issue impound notification letters to the registered owners of any vehicles impounded from private property. The County currently processes private impound notification letters, spending over $95,000 per year on postage. No other County in the State sends private impound notification letters.
