Title

AN ACT CONCERNING VEHICLE PARKING AND IMPOUNDMENT for the purpose of aligning County parking code with Maryland Senate Bill 111 - Vehicle Laws - Out-of-State Vehicles - Improper Registration.

 

Background

RVAPGC proposes the alignment of Prince George’s County parking code with recently passed Maryland Senate Bill (SB) 111 - Vehicle Laws - Out-of-State Motor Vehicles - Improper Registration, which establishes a process to ensure that motor vehicles owned by Maryland residents improperly registered in another state are brought into compliance with Maryland vehicle laws. Pursuant to SB111, any state agency authorized by law and any political subdivision of the state may adopt ordinances or regulations that: (1) Regulate the parking of vehicles; (2) Provide for the impounding of vehicles parked in violation of the ordinances or regulations; (3) Regulate the towing of vehicles from publicly owned and privately owned parking lots; and  (4) Provide for the issuance of a citation by an officer for a violation of an ordinance or regulation that is adopted under these regulations. The proposed parking regulation penalty, and impoundment code amendments will enhance parking enforcement and are projected to improve the collection of outstanding parking liabilities.
