1 (b) provides location-specific information that is reasonably accurate
2 for the date and time selected by the user;
3 (c) is updated on a regular basis to reflect changes in applicable
4 parking rules and restrictions;
5 (d) includes a clear notice to users where any parking restriction
6 information may be incomplete or subject to change; and
7 (e) includes a clear notice to users that if a user, after being made
8 aware of applicable parking restrictions, proceeds to violate such park-
9 ing restrictions, such user may be subject to fines, penalties or both
10 as set forth in applicable state law, local law or local ordinance,
11 including but not limited to, the issuance of a ticket, towing or vehi-
12 cle immobilization.
13 3. Each municipal corporation or parking authority that authorizes or
14 implements a digital parking payment application shall make available to
15 such application, in a commercially reasonable and readable format,
16 current information regarding parking rules and restrictions necessary
17 to comply with this section.
18 4. Nothing in this section shall be construed to invalidate or other-
19 wise affect the enforceability of any parking violation issued pursuant
20 to applicable law.
21 5. Where a contractor is operating a digital parking payment applica-
22 tion on behalf of a municipal corporation or parking authority, such
23 contractor shall not be deemed in violation of this section where such
24 contractor demonstrates that they reasonably relied upon parking regu-
25 lation data provided by the municipal corporation or parking authority.
26 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
27 it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amend-
