THE TEXT

“less than 75,000 that is adjacent to three counties with populations of more than 450,000”

Bill text, introduced version (I)

A small-county population limit tied to bordering three large counties describes a very narrow set of places, possibly one county, inside a statewide-looking parking law. The caption says only "certain residential subdivisions" and does not reveal this target.

Summary

Under 75,000 people, bordering three counties over 450,000 each. Possibly one county fits.

This bill rewrites the definition of "residential subdivision" in the state law that governs overnight parking of commercial trucks in or near neighborhoods. Under the new text, the definition covers only platted, deed-restricted subdivisions in counties with more than 220,000 people, or in counties under 75,000 people that border three counties of more than 450,000 people each. Truck owners and residents in those counties fall under the overnight parking rules, while subdivisions in other counties do not meet the definition.
