What’s in it

AI summary Cities and state agencies cannot charge people to use parking meters if there is snow blocking the path between the car and the sidewalk. The area around the meter must also be cleared of snow so people can reach it easily. If a parking ticket is given while these snow rules are being ignored, that ticket cannot be enforced.1

Read the official explanation

Under current law, local authorities are specifically authorized to regulate the standing or parking of vehicles within their jurisdictions. This bill prohibits the state or a local authority from charging a fee at a parking meter unless there is a path that is clear of snow directly from the metered parking space to the adjacent sidewalk, and the area around the parking meter is clear of snow, so as to allow a person who parks a vehicle in the metered parking space unimpeded access to the appropriate parking meter. A citation for a parking violation issued in violation of the bill is void and unenforceable.
