   An act to amend Section 40225 of the Vehicle Code, relating to
vehicles.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2366, Eng. Vehicles: equipment violations: parking control
officers.
   Existing law provides that the civil penalty for each vehicle
equipment violation, including failure to properly display a license
plate, is the amount established for that violation in the Uniform
Bail and Penalty Schedule, except that upon proof of correction, the
penalty is reduced to $10.
   This bill would require that upon proof of correction, the penalty
is $25 rather than $10.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 40225 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read:
   40225.  (a) An equipment violation entered on the notice of
parking violation attached to the vehicle under Section 40203 shall
be processed in accordance with this article. All of the violations
entered on the notice of parking violation shall be noticed in the
notice of delinquent parking violation delivered pursuant to Section
40206, together with the amount of civil penalty.
   (b) Whether or not a vehicle is in violation of any regulation
governing the standing or parking of a vehicle but is in violation of
subdivision (a) of Section 5204, a person authorized to enforce
parking laws and regulations shall issue a written notice of parking
violation, setting forth the alleged violation. The violation shall
be processed pursuant to this section.
   (c) The civil penalty for each equipment violation, including
failure to properly display a license plate, is the amount
established for the violation in the Uniform Bail and Penalty
Schedule, as adopted by the Judicial Council, except that upon proof
of the correction to the processing agency, the penalty shall be
reduced to twenty-five dollars ($25). The reduction provided for in
this subdivision involving failure to properly display license plates
shall only apply if, at the time of the violation, valid license
plates were issued for that vehicle in accordance with this code. The
civil penalty for each violation of Section 5204 is the amount
established for the violation in the Uniform Bail and Penalty
Schedule, as adopted by the Judicial Council, except that upon proof
of the correction to the processing agency, the penalty shall be
reduced to twenty-five dollars ($25).
   (d) Fifty percent of any penalty collected pursuant to this
section for registration or equipment violations by a processing
agency shall be paid to the county for remittance to the State
Treasurer and the remaining 50 percent shall be retained by the
issuing agency and processing agency subject to the terms of the
contract described in Section 40200.5.
   (e) Subdivisions (a) and (b) do not preclude the recording of a
violation of subdivision (a) or (b) of Section 4000 on a notice of
parking violation or the adjudication of that violation under the
civil process set forth in this article.
