§ 22-29. Liability for payment of parking violation notices.

The owner of a vehicle is responsible and liable for payment of any parking violation notice, unless the owner can furnish evidence that the vehicle was, at the time of the parking violation, under the care, custody or control of another person. In such instances, the owner of the vehicle is required to furnish to the appropriate law enforcement authorities with the name and address of the person or company who leased, rented, or otherwise had the care, custody or control of the vehicle, within ten (10) days after notification of the parking violation. The owner of the vehicle is not responsible for a parking violation if the vehicle was, at the time, stolen or in the care, custody or control of some person who did not have the permission of the owner to use the vehicle. The operator of a vehicle which is in his care, custody or control without the permission of the owner shall be responsible for any parking violation notice which occurs while the vehicle is in his care, custody or control.
