The proposed bill would amend current statutes by prohibiting cities or towns from enacting laws that prevent the booting of motor vehicles located on private property without the owner's permission. It would allow municipalities to regulate the rates charged by motor vehicle booting services, as well as establish signage and vehicle release practices that comply with the new regulations. The bill also clarifies that property owners are deemed to have consented to unrestricted public parking unless proper signage is posted.

Additionally, the bill introduces specific requirements for motor vehicle booting services, including a maximum fee structure, mandatory release times for booted vehicles, and conditions under which vehicles may not be booted. It establishes penalties for violations of these regulations, classifying them as class 2 misdemeanors. The bill also defines key terms related to booting and outlines the responsibilities of booting services, including record-keeping and compliance with consumer protection measures.
