A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR TIME LIMITS FOR NOTIFICATION OF LEASED VEHICLE PARKING VIOLATIONS AND THE APPLICABILITY OF THE PRIMA FACIE RULE OF EVIDENCE.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 20‑162.1(b) reads as rewritten:
"(b)	The prima facie rule of evidence established by subsection (a) shall not apply to the registered owner of a leased or rented vehicle parked in violation of law when the owner can furnish sworn evidence that the vehicle was, at the time of the parking violation, leased or rented, to another person or company. In those instances, the owner of the vehicle shall furnish sworn evidence to the courts in accordance with this subsection.
If the notification is given to the owner of the vehicle within 90 days after the date of the violation, the owner shall have 30 days to file with the courts the sworn evidence including the name and address of the person or company that leased or rented the vehicle. If notification is given to the owner of the vehicle after 90 days have elapsed from the date of the violation, the owner is not required to provide the name or address of the lessee or renter of the vehicle in the sworn evidence."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
