Regulating commercial parking businesses.

Summary

  • Prohibits a parking charge unless there is a conspicuously posted sign on the parking lot indicating the times and circumstances in which a parking charge will be charged and provides for fees and penalties in the event of any violations.
  • Defines what constitutes a conspicuous sign for commercial parking lots, and incorporates by reference the posting requirements of the Department of Licensing for impounding vehicles.
  • Creates a separate burden of proof for a person who is not the registered owner of the vehicle but is contesting unauthorized parking fees, and allows the award of statutory costs and attorney fees to the prevailing party in contested parking actions.
