SENATE COMMUNITY AND URBAN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 3053

with committee amendments

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  JUNE 5, 2025

      The Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee reports favorably and with committee amendments Senate Bill No. 3053.

      As amended, this bill amends the "Local Public Contracts Law" to provide that a contract between a municipality or parking authority and an online parking payment service provider is to stipulate that the service provider is not to charge a parking fee to a user during a time period when parking is prohibited or is free at a parking project.  The bill defines an "online parking payment service" to mean a public-facing Internet website, Internet web application, or computer or mobile application that allows a user to submit payment for parking a motor vehicle at a publicly available parking project.

      As amended and reported by the committee, Senate Bill No. 3053 is identical to Assembly Bill No. 3765 (1R), as was also amended and reported by the committee on this date.

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS:

      The committee amended the bill to apply its provisions to the "Local Public Contracts Law" rather than R.S.40:52-1 and the “Parking Authority Law. "
