Parking penalties.
Summary
Existing law authorizes a processing agency that processes unpaid parking penalties to proceed under specified options to collect those penalties. Under one option, a processing agency is authorized to file an itemization of unpaid penalties with the Department of Motor Vehicles for the department to collect the penalties along with the registration of the vehicle. Existing law requires this option, starting on July 1, 2018, to include a process to provide a payment plan for indigent persons. This bill would specify that the option to collect unpaid penalties that were issued before July 1, 2018, through the department requires a process to provide a payment plan for indigent persons, as specified. The bill would make technical changes to the provisions for all the specified options to collect the unpaid parking penalty. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
