Summary

This bill would create an affirmative defense to a charge for parking where parking is prohibited by a posted sign in cases where a doula or midwife is engaged in a house call providing maternal health services at the time, and at or around the location, where the violation occurred. This does not create an affirmative defense for parking where parking is prohibited by rule or where stopping or standing are prohibited by a posted sign or rule.
