First Regular Session

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

HOUSE BILLNO. 4310

INTRODUCED BY HONORABLE GUS S. TAMBUNTING

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Instead of consumers subsidizing the cost of maintaining a safe and convenient free parking
areas for vehicle owners, this legislation seeks to regulate existing pay parking stations thereby
ensuring the safety of property and regulate cost of urban development.

The contractual agreement between the paying vehicle owner and the owner of parking space
sans liability for damage and losses spells bias towards the paying public.

This bill seeks to regulate the exercise of proprietary function of commercial parking service
owners. A convincing charge to a fair market rate for a parking space will help recoup the
investment cost and maintenance including the cost of safe temporary or long term use of
parking space.

More so, it is the policy of the State to preserve public interest.

Hence immediate-passage of this legislation is earnestly sought.
