United States Ninth Circuit

In a suit brought by the California Tow Truck Association (CTTA), seeking to invalidate ordinances requiring tow truck drivers and towing firms to obtain permits to operate and conduct business within San Francisco, the judgment of the district court is vacated and remanded, as American Trucking Associations v. City of Los Angeles requires a provision-by-provision preemption analysis of San Francisco's permit system regulating tow truck drivers and firms to determine whether the entire system is preempted by federal law.
