An Act authorizing the transportation board of the town of Brookline to regulate valet parking in the town of Brookline |
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. Section 4 of chapter 317 of the acts of 1974, as amended, is hereby further amended by inserting the following paragraph between the second and third paragraphs thereof:
Also, notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, the board shall have exclusive authority to adopt, alter or repeal rules and regulations relative to the operation, licensing or permitting of any valet parking service that utilizes any part of a town-controlled public way, public off-street parking area, or public property for the movement, transport, parking, standing, storage, pick-up, or delivery of a motor vehicle, if it determines, by a vote of at least four members that such actions serve the public safety, welfare, environment or convenience. For the purposes of this section, a valet parking service is defined as a parking service offered, with or without a fee, to an operator or owner of a motor vehicle who is a patron, customer, visitor, employee, guest, invitee or licensee of any restaurant, store, hotel, club, business, institution, or commercial establishment wherein the operator or owner delivers possession or control of the motor vehicle to an attendant commonly known as a valet who then transports, parks, stores, retrieves and/or delivers the vehicle.
