An Act To Provide Protection From Unfair Parking Tickets On Lots Accessible To The Public

LD 1794 requires property managers who collect parking fees on public lots to give immediate notice of a violation when a vehicle is parked improperly. It prohibits reporting unpaid parking fees to credit agencies and bans charging fees for violations without prior notice. The Attorney General enforces the law, and individuals harmed by violations can sue after seeking mediation through the Attorney General’s office. Violators face penalties including triple damages and up to $5,000 per violation. This directly affects parking lot operators and vehicle owners using public lots.
