Maryland HB1569 shifts liability for parking citations from vehicle owners to auto repair or storage facilities when vehicles are in their custody.

Maryland HB1569 modifies parking citation liability by shifting responsibility from vehicle owners to auto repair or storage facilities when vehicles are in their custody. If a parking citation is issued while a vehicle is under repair or storage, the facility may be held liable instead of the owner. The bill also allows parking enforcement agencies to reissue citations directly to facilities if evidence supports this. Additionally, it prohibits facilities from requiring customers to waive their rights under this act as a condition of service.
