1 5 if authorized by ordinance. The fine shall not exceed five
1 6 dollars except for snow route parking violations in which case
1 7 the fine shall not exceed twenty-five dollars. The fine may
1 8 be increased up to ten dollars if the parking violation is not
1 9 paid within thirty days of the date upon which the violation
1 10 occurred, if authorized by ordinance. Violations of section
1 11 321L.4, subsection 2, may be charged and collected upon a
1 12 simple notice of a one hundred dollar fine payable to the city
1 13 clerk or clerk of the district court, if authorized by
1 14 ordinance. No costs or other charges shall be assessed except
1 15 a local public transit surcharge of up to one dollar if the
1 16 local authority has adopted an ordinance pursuant to section
1 17 364.3, subsection 2, paragraph "b". All fines collected by a
1 18 city pursuant to this paragraph shall be retained by the city
1 19 and all fines collected by a county pursuant to this paragraph
1 20 shall be retained by the county.
1 21 Sec. 2. Section 364.3, subsection 2, Code Supplement
1 22 1999, is amended to read as follows:
1 23 2. a. A city shall not provide a penalty in excess of a
1 24 two hundred dollar fine or in excess of thirty days
1 25 imprisonment for the violation of an ordinance. An amount
1 26 equal to ten percent of all fines collected by cities shall be
1 27 deposited in the account established in section 602.8108.
1 28 However, one hundred percent of all fines collected by a city
1 29 pursuant to section 321.236, subsection 1, shall be retained
1 30 by the city. The criminal penalty surcharge required by
1 31 section 911.2 shall be added to a city fine and is not a part
1 32 of the city's penalty.
1 33 b. A city may adopt an ordinance to assess a local public
1 34 transit surcharge of up to one dollar to be added to city
1 35 fines for parking violations. Moneys collected from the
2 1 surcharge shall be retained by the city and kept in a separate
2 2 account to be used only for establishing, improving, or
2 3 maintaining public transit within the city or surrounding
2 4 area.
2 5 EXPLANATION
2 6 This bill amends Code section 364.3, limiting the powers of
2 7 cities to the imposition of certain penalties, to allow a city
2 8 to adopt an ordinance to assess a local public transit
2 9 surcharge of up to $1 to be added to city fines for parking
2 10 violations. Moneys collected from the surcharge are to be
2 11 used by the city only for establishing, improving, or
2 12 maintaining public transit within the city or surrounding
2 13 area.
2 14 The bill also amends a provision in Code section 321.236
2 15 allowing local authorities to regulate the standing and
2 16 parking of vehicles to allow imposition of a local public
2 17 transit surcharge adopted by ordinance under Code section
2 18 364.3.
