Section 40206.5 Of Article 3. Procedure On Parking Violations From California Vehicle Code >> Division 17. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 3.
40206.5
. (a) Within 15 days of a request, by mail or in person, the
processing agency shall mail or otherwise provide to any person who
has received a notice of delinquent parking violation, or his or her
agent, a photostatic copy of the original notice of parking violation
or an electronically produced facsimile of the original notice of
parking violation. The issuing agency may charge a fee sufficient to
recover the actual cost of providing the copy, not to exceed two
dollars ($2). Until the issuing agency complies with a request for a
copy of the original notice of parking violation, the processing
agency may not proceed pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 22651,
Section 22651.7, or Section 40220.
(b) If the description of the vehicle on the notice of parking
violation does not substantially match the corresponding information
on the registration card for that vehicle and the processing agency
is satisfied that the vehicle has not been incorrectly described due
to the intentional switching of license plates, the processing agency
shall, on written request of the person cancel the notice of parking
violation without the necessity of an appearance by that person.
(c) For purposes of this section, a copy of the notice of parking
violation may be a photostatic copy or an electronically produced
facsimile.
