business engaged in booting motor vehicles for compensation and from receiving any rebate,
compensation, or other valuable consideration with the exception of unpaid parking fees on
private property. Specifies that the monetary prohibition applies solely to the owner of the
parking facility.
Present law prohibits a parking facility operation company, valet company, or a general manager of
a parking facility from having a direct or indirect monetary or ownership interest in a business
engaged in booting motor vehicles on private property for compensation of unauthorized vehicles
in a parking facility.
Proposed law removes present law.

receiving any compensation, including any rebate or other consideration in connection with booting
a vehicle on private property other than unpaid parking fees.
