Bill > H2352

This bill establishes a statewide limit on parking permit fees for municipalities, restricting the daily rate for permits lasting between 2 and 366 days to a maximum of $7 per day, with an automatic annual increase of $0.50 on December 31st of each year. The legislation aims to provide consistency in parking permit pricing across different cities and towns, preventing municipalities from charging excessively high rates for short to medium-term parking permits. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2024, and overrides any existing local laws or ordinances that might currently allow higher parking permit fees. By setting a standardized daily rate with a built-in incremental increase, the bill seeks to create a predictable and affordable parking permit system for residents and visitors in Massachusetts municipalities.
