    4  insert:
    5         Section 2.  Paragraphs (b) and (c) of subsection (1) of
    6  section 125.0103, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
    7         125.0103 Ordinances and rules imposing price controls;
    8  findings required; procedures.—
    9         (1)
   10         (b) The provisions of this section shall not prevent the

   12  authorized by law, including water, sewer, solid waste, public
   13  transportation, taxicab, or port rates, rates for towing of
   14  vehicles from or immobilization of vehicles on private property,
   15  rates for immobilization of vehicles on public and private
   16  property, or rates for removal and storage of wrecked or
   17  disabled vehicles from an accident scene or the removal and
   18  storage of vehicles in the event the owner or operator is
   19  incapacitated, unavailable, leaves the procurement of wrecker
   20  service to the law enforcement officer at the scene, or
   21  otherwise does not consent to the removal of the vehicle.
   22         (c) Counties shall must establish maximum rates that which
   23  may be charged for on the towing of vehicles from or
   24  immobilization of vehicles on private property, the
   25  immobilization of vehicles on public and private property, the
   26  removal and storage of wrecked or disabled vehicles from an

   32  enact an ordinance establishing the maximum rates fees for the
   33  towing or immobilization of vehicles as described in paragraph
   34  (b), the county’s ordinance does shall not apply within such
   35  municipality. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
   36  maximum rate or fee that may be charged for the immobilization
   37  of vehicles on public and private property is $25. However, the
   38  provisions of this paragraph do not apply to the immobilization
   39  of vehicles under s. 316.193.
   40         Section 3.  Paragraphs (b) and (c) of subsection (1) of

   48  transportation, taxicab, or port rates, rates for towing of
   49  vehicles from or immobilization of vehicles on private property,
   50  rates for immobilization of vehicles on public and private
   51  property, or rates for removal and storage of wrecked or
   52  disabled vehicles from an accident scene or the removal and
   53  storage of vehicles in the event the owner or operator is
   54  incapacitated, unavailable, leaves the procurement of wrecker
   55  service to the law enforcement officer at the scene, or
   56  otherwise does not consent to the removal of the vehicle.
   57         (c) Counties shall must establish maximum rates that which

   64  of wrecker service to the law enforcement officer at the scene,
   65  or otherwise does not consent to the removal of the vehicle.
   66  However, if a municipality chooses to enact an ordinance
   67  establishing the maximum rates fees for the towing or
   68  immobilization of vehicles as described in paragraph (b), the
   69  county’s ordinance established under s. 125.0103 does shall not

   73  property is $25. However, the provisions of this paragraph do
   74  not apply to the immobilization of vehicles under s. 316.193.
