Digest of the bill as proposed by the Conference Committee
Present law prohibits a parking facility operating 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.
Present law prohibits a parking facility operating company, valet company, or a general manager of
a parking facility from accepting, directly or indirectly, any rebate, compensation, or other valuable
consideration from the owner or operator of a business engaged in booting motor vehicles on private
property other than the collection of unpaid parking fees.
Proposed law removes present law and solely prohibits the ownership entity of the parking facility
from receiving any compensation, including any rebate or other valuable consideration, in connection
with the immobilization of motor vehicles by booting on private property, other than unpaid parking
fees.
Proposed law specifies that any unpaid parking fees cannot be in any amount greater than the amount
actually incurred for parking in the parking facility.
