1 3 a. May be charged and collected upon a simple notice of a

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,
1 15 except the actual costs of providing the simple notice may be
1 16 charged and collected. All fines and actual costs collected

1 20 EXPLANATION
1 21 This bill relates to motor vehicle parking violations.
1 22 The bill provides that a local authority may charge a
1 23 parking ordinance violator the actual costs of providing the
1 24 notice of a parking violation. The bill applies only to
1 25 parking ordinance violators who have admitted to the
1 26 violation. If the alleged violator challenges the parking
1 27 violation in court, current law provides for the assessment of
1 28 costs as provided in Code section 602.8106, subsection 1,
1 29 paragraph "c".
1 30 Current law does not permit a local authority to collect
1 31 the actual costs of providing the notice of an admitted
1 32 parking violation. A parking violation fine other than a snow
1 33 route parking violation fine or a persons with disabilities
1 34 parking violation fine is capped by Code section 321.236 at $5
1 35 if paid on time.
