A new bill was introduced to the Delaware Legislature that would significantly increase the fines of parking violations in the state.
House Bill 479, introduced by State Representative Valerie Longhurst, would increase the civil penalty of parking violations from the current $10 but no more than $25 to $100 but no more than $500. Subsequent offenses would also increase to $400 and no more than $2,000.
A committee hearing on the bill will be held within 12 legislative days.
