Prohibits owner or operator of parking facility from preventing customer from leaving due to malfunction of parking facility payment process.

This bill prohibits parking facility owners or operators from blocking customers from leaving due to payment system malfunctions. It requires them to allow immediate departure if payment processing fails, with a maximum 10-minute delay to fix the issue. If payment can't be processed within 10 minutes, they must accept cash, card, or mail a bill for the actual amount (capped at one hour's standard fee if the exact amount is unknown). The bill directly affects customers who encounter payment issues at parking facilities and applies to all fee-charging parking areas, including garages and lots. Violations are treated as consumer fraud under New Jersey law, with fines up to $20,000.
