No. 84-A Summer school calendars and clarifying the enforcement of parking regulations near schools. Introduction It is currently difficult for members of the public to discern whether a school is in session, especially over the summer, for the purpose of parking regulations that are only in effect on school days. This proposed law would require the Department of Education and the Department of Transportation to post on their websites information on when public schools, including charter schools, are in session.

Approved by Committee Pass Action details Not available Int 0570-2018 * Mark Treyger   Proposed Int. No. 570-A Illegible parking signs. Introduction This bill would create an affirmative defense to parking violations issued to motorists who inadvertently park their cars in spots restricted by illegible parking signs. The defense of illegibility would protect motorists from unfair sanctions and possibly also serve as an incentive to replace or repair such illegible parking signs. This defense would apply when both sides of the sign are illegible and there are no other legible signs on the same blockface that apply to the same violation at the same parking space.
