About the Board

The Oregon State Board of Towing was established by the legislature under Senate Bill 300 on July 19, 2021, to protect the safety and well-being of the public through the regulation of the towing industry.

The Board was created to enforce the laws and rules regulating the towing industry, and to establish an organization with whom complaints could be filed against tow companies for unethical practices, violations of laws or rules, or other wrongdoing. The Board has the authority to investigate complaints and impose disciplinary actions or other corrective measures to protect the public. The Board does not have the authority to represent individual consumers in complaints against a tower or tow company, but may be able to assist in a reaching a fair and reasonable resolution of a complaint against a tower or tow company as provided in the laws and rules.

In July 2023, the Board began establishing objectives and adopting the rules necessary to implement and enforce the laws regulating tow operations and practices.

2024 will bring significant growth in the Board as it defines the complaint and investigation processes, adopts Bylaws and policies, establishes a matrix for violations and related civil penalties or sanctions, and identifies education and training needs and resources.
