Ohio HB653 sets maximum late fees for unpaid civil parking tickets.

Ohio HB653 establishes limits on late fees for unpaid civil parking tickets. The bill mandates that local authorities cannot impose fines exceeding $100 per violation, plus costs and administrative charges. It also caps late-payment penalties at $20 for a single infraction. The law ensures that parking violations are not criminal offenses and prohibits arrests for such violations. The bill further restricts impoundment or immobilization of vehicles to cases where the local authority enacts specific regulations.
