Establish maximum late fees for civil parking tickets
HB 653 would limit how much late fees can be added to civil parking tickets in Ohio. It directly affects drivers who receive parking citations and fail to pay them on time. The bill’s key provision amends state law to establish a specific maximum dollar amount or percentage for these late fees. This change would prevent excessive charges for overdue parking violations, creating a clearer and more predictable financial outcome for affected individuals.
