            House Bill 1140 amends the Occupations Code to provide for the biennial adjustment by the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation of the impoundment and storage fees of a vehicle storage facility or governmental vehicle storage facility. The adjustment is based on the percentage increase or decrease in the consumer price index during the preceding state fiscal biennium. The bill sets at $20 the daily storage fee the operator of such a facility may charge the owner of a vehicle not longer than 25 feet and removes a provision authorizing an operator to charge a fee for the remediation, recovery, or capture of an environmental or biological hazard.
