4760
. (a) (1) Except as provided in subdivision (b) or (d), the
department shall refuse to renew the registration of a vehicle if the
registered owner or lessee has been mailed a notice of delinquent
parking violation relating to standing or parking, the processing
agency has filed or electronically transmitted to the department an
itemization of unpaid parking penalties, including administrative
fees pursuant to Section 40220, and the owner or lessee has not paid
the parking penalty and administrative fee pursuant to Section 40211,
unless he or she pays to the department, at the time of application
for renewal, the full amount of all outstanding parking penalties and
administrative fees, as shown by records of the department.
(2) When the department receives the full amount of all
outstanding parking penalties and administrative fees pursuant to
paragraph (1), it shall issue a receipt showing each parking penalty
and administrative fee that has been paid, the processing agency for
that penalty and fee, and a description of the vehicle involved in
the parking violations. The receipt shall also state that, to reduce
the possibility of impoundment under Section 22651 or immobilization
under Section 22651.7 of the vehicle involved in the parking
violation, the registered owner or lessee may transmit to that
processing agency a copy or other evidence of the receipt.
(b) The department shall not refuse to renew the registration of a
vehicle owned by a renter or lessor if the applicant provides the
department with the abstract or notice of disposition of parking
violation issued pursuant to subdivision (c) for clearing all
outstanding parking penalties and administrative fees as shown by the
records of the department.
(c) The court or designated processing agency shall issue an
abstract or notice of disposition of parking violation to the renter
or lessor of a vehicle issued a notice of delinquent parking
violation relating to standing or parking if the renter or lessor
provides the court or processing agency with the name, address, and
driver's license number of the rentee or lessee at the time of
occurrence of the parking violation.
(d) The department shall not refuse to renew the registration of a
vehicle if the citation was issued prior to the registered owner
taking possession of the vehicle.
