PUCO tow rates expiring ?

[Melville]

I stopped doing ppi towing in 2016 just before the PUCO got involved and set new rules and rates, the 5 year review of these rules and rates is coming due in May 2023. I was wondering if any Ohio tower has been asked for input or if anyone knows if or when or how these changes will be instituted. I have added below the rule in question

 

Rule 4901:2-24-03 | Fees for Towing and Storage.
