Bill Summary · HB 2375

Legislative bill overview

HB 2375 addresses towing practices in Hawaii, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available legislative record. The bill was introduced in January 2026 and recently advanced out of the Transportation Committee with amendments in February 2026. The measure has been referred to multiple committees including Transportation, Labor, and Judiciary for further consideration.

Why is this important

Towing practices directly affect consumers who experience vehicle impounds, repossession, or roadside assistance situations. Regulations in this area can impact vehicle owners' rights, costs, recovery timelines, and protections against predatory towing practices. Hawaii's island geography and tourism economy make towing regulation particularly relevant for both residents and visitors.

Potential points of contention

  • Cost and fee structures: Disagreement likely exists over what towing companies can charge for services, storage, and administrative fees, with consumer advocates seeking caps versus industry groups seeking flexibility
  • Notification and transparency requirements: Disputes may arise over how quickly vehicle owners must be notified of tows, where vehicles are taken, and what information must be provided
  • Protections against unauthorized towing: Questions about when towing is legally permitted (private property, abandoned vehicles, violations) and what safeguards prevent improper vehicle removal
