Connecticut DMV and Top Lawmakers Vow to Review Towing Laws

Connecticut 's towing laws have come to favor tow companies at the expense of owners, an investigation found.

The investigation found that some low-income residents were losing their cars because they couldn’t afford the recovery fees and had a short window to pay before towing companies were allowed to sell their vehicles.

The review comes as the state’s 2025 legislative session opens Wednesday .

House Majority Leader Jason Rojas , D-East Hartford, said his office quickly researched the issue following the story’s publication.

He said the issue “struck a nerve” with him and others because of how important it is to have reliable access to transportation.

House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora , R-North Branford, said he is willing to consider changes to the state's towing law.
