DENVER — Contact Denver7 has been following a legislative push to help crime victims pay towing and impound fees, and this week, the bill to further study the issue was signed into law, but not before most of its provisions were gutted.Rep. Meg Froelich, D-Arapahoe County, co-sponsored the measure, which would have set up a fee for every tow and created a fund to pay for crime victim impound fees.
Similar legislation has failed in previous sessions, but Froelich said she is confident the committee will move forward with workable legislation next session. Meanwhile, the city of Aurora is studying creating a city-owned impound lot that waives crime fees, which Denver already has.
