summary
This amendment replaces the title and clarifies the law concerning the civil violation of trespass by a motor vehicle. The amendment provides that a person commits a civil violation if that person parks a motor vehicle or allows a motor vehicle to remain parked in a private drive or private way in a manner that blocks or interferes with the free passage of other vehicles without the permission of the owner of the private drive or way. The amendment increases the fine from an amount not to exceed $100 to an amount not less than $500. The amendment also specifies that there is a rebuttable presumption that a registered owner of a vehicle involved in a violation has that vehicle under that person's control.
