State Board of Towing: Public Policies
The Board's public policies clarify the intent and meaning of Oregon’s statutes and administrative rules AND identify best practices, professional standards, and expectations for members of the industry, the public, property owners and managers, stakeholders, and government entities.

Adoption of public policy does not change or rewrite the laws. Changes to the law are made by the legislature. If a public policy contradicts a relevant statute or rule, the statute or rule will prevail. 
The Board’s authority to investigate complaints and vote for disciplinary actions is established in Oregon’s law, and is not limited to the date of adoption of public policy.
