Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1. Chapter 161A of the General Laws is hereby amended by striking out section 46, as appearing in the 2004 Official Edition, and inserting in place thereof the following section:-
Section 46. The directors may promulgate rules and regulations pertaining to the parking of motor vehicles in any terminals, stations, garages, yards, shops, parking lots or parking garages owned or operated by the authority. The authority shall not promulgate rules and regulations concerning any streets, ways, highways, roads or parkways; provided, however, that the authority may promulgate rules and regulations concerning any posted authority bus stops. The authority may, by a vote of the directors, adopt the provisions of section 20A of chapter 90; provided, however, that the directors establish rules and regulations creating regional districts throughout the authority consisting of contiguous cities or towns within which the parking clerk shall regularly conduct hearings; and, provided, further, that 50 per cent of the fines imposed under this section shall be paid to the general fund of the authority and 50 per cent shall be paid to the city or town in which the violation occurred.
