What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law, in general, prohibits a motorist from stopping or standing in any
of the following places except temporarily for loading or unloading and while the
vehicle is attended by a licensed operator: 1) in a loading zone, 2) in an alley in a
business district, 3) within ten feet of a fire hydrant, 4) within four feet of the
entrance to an alley or driveway, 5) closer than 15 feet to the near limits of a
crosswalk, or 6) upon any portion of a highway where parking is prohibited. A person
who violates this provision may be required to forfeit not less than $20 nor more than
$40 for the first offense and not less than $50 nor more than $100 for the second or
subsequent conviction within a year.
Under this bill, the distance from the near limits of a crosswalk within which
parking is restricted is changed from 15 feet to four feet.
