§ 106-39. Responsibility of vehicle owner for payment of parking violations.

(a)

The owner of a vehicle is responsible and liable for payment of any parking ticket violation unless the owner can furnish evidence that the vehicle was, at the time of the parking violation, in the care, custody or control of another person. In such instances, the owner of the vehicle is required, within fifty-five (55) days after issuance of the parking ticket violation, to furnish to the clerk of circuit court an affidavit setting forth the name, address and driver's license number of the person who leased, rented or otherwise had the care, custody or control of the vehicle. The affidavit submitted under this subsection is admissible in a proceeding charging a parking ticket violation and raises the rebuttable presumption that the person identified in the affidavit is responsible for payment of the parking ticket violation. The owner of a vehicle is not responsible for a parking ticket violation if the vehicle involved was, at the time, stolen or in the care, custody or control of some person who did not have permission of the owner to use the vehicle.
