Bill defining devices for towing is passed by Senate

Legislation aimed at preventing accidents like one that killed three people on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge last year was approved by the Maryland Senate today.

The Senate voted 45-0 for the measure, which defines various devices that are used to tow vehicles.

The bill also sets a maximum penalty of $1,000, if a violation of the new regulations causes death or serious injury.
