Impacts to the Public
 

I have not found anything in the General Regs showing one of the impacts to the public being higher cost to receive services.  If we are being charged all of these high fees and now have to comply with so many regulations, if we are going to be able to stay in business, those fees are going to have to be passed onto the consumer. One of the reasons for the start of this board was because someone felt that they had been charged too much. How are they going to feel now when those prices have to go up 50% to cover the additional cost in training, insurance, background checks on ourselves, fingerprinting, oh and don't let me forget the license fee, etc.

Should the Board not be required to point that out when they present their recommendations to Senate Transportation Committee? Who truly will end up feeling the impact of all of these fees? The consumer!

The towing industry is NOT a non-profit organization!
