Bill > S3053

This bill requires that contracts between certain governmental units (such as municipalities or parking authorities) and online parking payment service providers include a specific provision: the service provider cannot charge a parking fee to a user during times when parking is prohibited or free at a parking project. The bill defines an "online parking payment service" as a website, web application, or mobile app that allows users to pay for parking a vehicle at a publicly available parking location. By mandating this contractual condition, the bill aims to prevent users from being charged parking fees during periods when parking would normally be free or not allowed. The legislation applies to all new, renewed, modified, or amended contracts entered into on or after the bill's effective date, and it modifies existing statutes related to municipal governance and local contracting practices. This provision ensures transparency and fairness for users of online parking payment services by preventing unwarranted charges during free or restricted parking times.
