Requires contract between certain governmental units and online parking payment service providers stipulate service provider not charge user during certain times.
This bill requires municipalities or parking authorities to include in contracts with online parking payment service providers a provision that the service provider cannot charge users for parking during times when parking is prohibited or free. It directly affects online parking payment services used at publicly available parking projects, ensuring users aren't charged for parking during times when it's not allowed or is free. The bill amends existing law to add this requirement and defines key terms like "online parking payment service" as websites, apps, or mobile applications that allow users to pay for parking. It applies to all contracts entered into, renewed, modified, or amended on or after the bill's effective date. This policy change prevents unexpected fees during times when parking is not permitted or is free.
