Relates to prohibiting the issuance of late fees prior to a finding of liability; repealer
This bill prohibits cities from charging late fees for parking violations before a person is officially found liable. It requires cities to send two notices to vehicle owners: the first for the violation, and a second with a 20-day response window before penalties apply. If a person fails to respond, cities may pursue license suspension or a default judgment - but cannot impose late fees until liability is determined. The bill repeals outdated penalty provisions and adds a new law (Section 238-a) ensuring late fees only apply after a fine is imposed for a confirmed violation. It directly affects vehicle owners receiving parking violation notices in New York.
