NRS 706.4487
Legislative declaration concerning designation of vehicle storage lots by insurance companies.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that:

1.

Towing a vehicle, either after a crash or after the vehicle is stolen and subsequently recovered, to a vehicle storage lot designated by the insurer of the vehicle will result in the placement of vehicle storage lots in more locations, as insurance companies will designate as many vehicle storage lots as are necessary to provide coverage throughout the county, thus enhancing safety by limiting both the time and distance that a tow car is traveling with a towed vehicle.

2.

Authorizing insurance companies to designate vehicle storage lots will enhance safety by ensuring that the vehicles towed thereto are stored in locations which:

(a)

Guarantee safe access to the vehicles by their owners; and

(b)

Protect the property of the owners of the vehicles, including, without limitation, the vehicles themselves.

3.

The provisions of NRS 706.4489 and 706.44895 constitute an exercise of the safety regulatory authority of this State with respect to motor vehicles.
