mcg-pioMay 29, 2026
The Vehicle Recovery Act (Expedited Bill 14-26) requires towing companies in Montgomery County to accept consular identification cards and a broader range of documentation — including from family and household members — to establish vehicle ownership and secure the release of impounded vehicles. The bill is designed to ease the process for immigrant families whose vehicles are towed. It will be ceremonially signed by County Executive Marc Elrich on June 1, 2026.
