S.B. 287, sponsored by state Sen. Mike Kowall, eliminates current exemptions and requires all towing companies to register with the Michigan Public Service Commission's Motor Carrier Division.  This will ensure all towing companies have had their vehicles inspected for safety within the previous year, carry a minimum amount of insurance and employ qualified drivers.  It is now P.A. 111.

After all the discussion on here about associated costs and overreach with this, all that little blurb stresses is some red herring to 'ensure' some sense of safety measure from the GoverNerds PR staff.  WTF?
