What it does
This bill would prohibit a motor vehicle, when being removed by a tow truck due to temporary parking restrictions, from being relocated to a location at a parking meter or where parking, stopping, or standing is prohibited. It would also provide an affirmative defense to owners of relocated vehicles who receive parking tickets within a specified timeframe, and establish an escalating fine structure for violations by licensed tow operators of the bill’s prohibition against improper relocations, subject to certain exceptions.
