Bill Summary
Parking enforcement; issuance of a summons or parking ticket. Removes the population requirement for a locality to be authorized to, by ordinance, authorize law-enforcement officers, other uniformed employees of the locality, and uniformed personnel serving under contract with the locality to issue a summons or parking ticket for a violation of an ordinance regulating the parking, stopping, and standing of vehicles. Existing law grants such authority to localities having a population of at least 40,000.
AI Summary
This bill expands the authority of localities to issue parking tickets and summonses for parking violations to include any locality that experiences more than two million tourist visitors annually, in addition to those with a population of at least 40,000. This means that in these high-tourism areas, law-enforcement officers, other uniformed local employees, and uniformed personnel hired by contract can issue these citations, which are essentially tickets for parking, stopping, or standing violations. The bill amends existing law that already allows local governments to create ordinances for parking regulations, including the use of parking meters and penalties for violations.
