NRS 706.4468  Operator of tow car required to file charges for preparing or satisfying liens; actions by Authority; conditions for imposing and amount of charges.

      1.  Each operator of a tow car shall file its charges for preparing or satisfying a lien to which the operator is entitled against a vehicle that was towed without the prior consent of the owner of the vehicle or the person authorized by the owner to operate the vehicle. The Authority:

      (a) May investigate any charge filed pursuant to this subsection and revise the charge as necessary to ensure that the charge is reasonable.

      (b) Shall reduce any charge filed pursuant to this subsection if the Authority determines that the charge is unreasonable because the charge is attributable, in whole or in part, to failure on the part of the operator of the tow car to prepare or satisfy the operator’s lien in a timely manner.

      2.  An operator of a tow car may not impose a charge or any part of a charge filed pursuant to subsection 1 unless the operator:

      (a) Has initiated the procedure by which a person may satisfy a lien; and

      (b) Stores the vehicle for at least 96 hours.

      3.  If an operator of a tow car stores a vehicle that was towed without the prior consent of the owner of the vehicle or the person authorized by the owner to operate the vehicle for at least 96 hours but not more than 336 hours, the operator may charge an amount not to exceed 50 percent of the charge approved by the Authority pursuant to subsection 1 for preparing or satisfying a lien.

      4.  If an operator of a tow car stores a vehicle that was towed without the prior consent of the owner of the vehicle or the person authorized by the owner to operate the vehicle for more than 336 hours, the operator may charge an amount not to exceed 50 percent of the charge approved by the Authority pursuant to subsection 1 for preparing or satisfying a lien in addition to the amount charged pursuant to subsection 3.
