 1863  to the Florida Highway Patrol wrecker operator system described
 1864  in s. 321.051(2), under which a county or municipality contracts
 1865  with one or more wrecker operators for the towing or removal of
 1866  wrecked, disabled, or abandoned vehicles from crash accident
 1867  scenes, streets, or highways. A wrecker operator system shall
 1868  include using a method for apportioning the towing assignments
 1869  among the eligible wrecker operators through the creation of
 1870  geographic zones, a rotation schedule, or a combination of these
 1871  methods.
 1872         (2) In any county or municipality that operates a wrecker
 1873  operator system:
 1874         (c) When an unauthorized wrecker operator drives by the
 1875  scene of a wrecked or disabled vehicle and the owner or operator
 1876  initiates contact by signaling the wrecker operator to stop and
 1877  provide towing services, the unauthorized wrecker operator must
 1878  disclose in writing to the owner or operator of the vehicle his
 1879  or her full name and driver license number, that he or she is
 1880  not the authorized wrecker operator who has been designated as
 1881  part of the wrecker operator system, that the motor vehicle is
 1882  not being towed for the owner’s or operator’s insurance company
 1883  or lienholder, whether he or she has in effect an insurance
 1884  policy providing at least $300,000 of liability insurance and at
 1885  least $50,000 of on-hook cargo insurance, and the maximum
 1886  charges for towing and storage which will apply before the
 1887  vehicle is connected to the towing apparatus. The unauthorized
 1888  wrecker operator must also provide a copy of the disclosure to
 1889  the owner or operator in the presence of a law enforcement
 1890  officer if such officer is at the scene of a motor vehicle crash
 1891  accident. Any person who violates this paragraph commits a
 1892  misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s.
 1893  775.082 or s. 775.083, and the person’s wrecker, tow truck, or
 1894  other motor vehicle that was used during the offense may be
 1895  immediately removed and impounded pursuant to subsection (3).
 1896         (4) This section does not prohibit, or in any way prevent,
 1897  the owner or operator of a vehicle involved in a crash an
 1898  accident or otherwise disabled from contacting any wrecker
 1899  operator for the provision of towing services, whether the
 1900  wrecker operator is an authorized wrecker operator or not.

 1902  to read:
 1903         324.011 Purpose of chapter.—It is the intent of this
 1904  chapter to recognize the existing privilege to own or operate a
 1905  motor vehicle on the public streets and highways of this state
 1906  when such vehicles are used with due consideration for others
 1907  and their property, and to promote safety and provide financial
 1908  security requirements for such owners or operators whose
 1909  responsibility it is to recompense others for injury to person
 1910  or property caused by the operation of a motor vehicle.
 1911  Therefore, it is required herein that the operator of a motor
 1912  vehicle involved in a crash or convicted of certain traffic
 1913  offenses meeting the operative provisions of s. 324.051(2) shall
 1914  respond for such damages and show proof of financial ability to

 1928  maintaining an insurance policy providing coverage for property
 1929  damage liability in the amount of at least $10,000 because of
 1930  damage to, or destruction of, property of others in any one
 1931  crash accident arising out of the use of the motor vehicle. The
 1932  requirements of this section may also be met by having a policy
 1933  which provides coverage in the amount of at least $30,000 for
 1934  combined property damage liability and bodily injury liability
 1935  for any one crash arising out of the use of the motor vehicle.
 1936  The policy, with respect to coverage for property damage
 1937  liability, must meet the applicable requirements of s. 324.151,
 1938  subject to the usual policy exclusions that have been approved
 1939  in policy forms by the Office of Insurance Regulation. No

 1947  is required to be registered in this state, or that is located
 1948  within this state, and who, regardless of adjudication of guilt,
 1949  has been found guilty of or entered a plea of guilty or nolo
 1950  contendere to a charge of driving under the influence under s.
 1951  316.193 after October 1, 2007, shall, by one of the methods
 1952  established in s. 324.031(1) or (2), establish and maintain the
 1953  ability to respond in damages for liability on account of
 1954  crashes accidents arising out of the use of a motor vehicle in
 1955  the amount of $100,000 because of bodily injury to, or death of,
 1956  one person in any one crash and, subject to such limits for one
 1957  person, in the amount of $300,000 because of bodily injury to,
 1958  or death of, two or more persons in any one crash and in the
 1959  amount of $50,000 because of property damage in any one crash.
 1960  If the owner or operator chooses to establish and maintain such
 1961  ability by furnishing a certificate of deposit pursuant to s.
 1962  324.031(2), such certificate of deposit must be at least
 1963  $350,000. Such higher limits must be carried for a minimum
 1964  period of 3 years. If the owner or operator has not been
 1965  convicted of driving under the influence or a felony traffic
 1966  offense for a period of 3 years from the date of reinstatement
 1967  of driving privileges for a violation of s. 316.193, the owner
