Fraudulent Vehicle Tag Enforcement Amendment Act of 2023 (now known as "Fraudulent Vehicle Tag and Parking Enforcement Modernization Amendment Act of 2024")

This bill modernizes parking enforcement in Washington, D.C., by creating a new Parking Enforcement Management Authority and establishing a point system to determine when vehicles can be immobilized or impounded based on repeated violations. It requires the city to maintain a database of out-of-state license plates to improve identification accuracy while setting rules to protect the privacy of license plate reader data. The legislation also strengthens penalties for selling or using counterfeit tags, clarifies standards for displaying valid tags, and allows owners to have fines waived if their registration was fraudulent. Additionally, it provides a 15-day window for owners to contest damage claims after a vehicle is booted and creates specific procedures for reclaiming or disposing of abandoned and dangerous vehicles.
