Bill > A3765

This bill requires municipalities and parking authorities to include specific provisions in their contracts with online parking payment service providers to protect users from being charged parking fees during times when parking is prohibited or free. The bill amends several existing laws to define terms like "online parking payment service" and "parking project" and to mandate that any contract with such a service provider must stipulate that users will not be charged during prohibited or free parking periods. Specifically, the bill adds language to existing statutes governing municipal powers, parking authorities, and local government contracting to ensure that online parking payment services cannot charge users during times when parking would normally be free or not allowed. The goal appears to be preventing users from being unfairly charged for parking when they should not be paying, such as during designated free parking hours or when parking is restricted. The provisions will apply to all new, renewed, modified, or amended contracts entered into after the bill's effective date.
