To remedy this problem, the State Legislature recently passed a <br />law which prohibits parking motor vehicles on public streets or highways by unlicensed <br />parties for the purpose of displaying the motor vehicle for sale. It is important to note that <br />the new law excludes persons displaying their own vehicles for sale on their own <br />property and motor vehicle dealers with off-premises sale license. The new law requires <br />local government to adopt an Ordinance in order to enforce the law locally. <br /> <br />By adopting this Ordinance, the City will have the ability to impose fines and tow <br />vehicles that are parked in public areas for the purpose of displaying the vehicles for sale. <br /> <br />A TT ACHMENTS: <br />.
