Colorado § 42-4-1209

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 42: Vehicles and
• Art.: Regulation of Vehicles and Traffic

Text

(1) In addition to any other
liability provided for in this article, the owner of a motor vehicle who is engaged in
the business of leasing or renting motor vehicles is liable for payment of a parking
violation fine unless the owner of the leased or rented motor vehicle can furnish
sufficient evidence that the vehicle was, at the time of the parking violation, in the
care, custody, or control of another person. To avoid liability for payment the owner
of the motor vehicle is required, within a reasonable time after notification of the
parking violation, to furnish to the prosecutorial division of the appropriate
jurisdiction the name and address of the person or company who leased, rented, or
otherwise had the care, custody, or control of such vehicle. As a condition to avoid
liability for payment of a parking violation, any person or company who leases or
rents motor vehicles to another person shall attach to the leasing or rental
agreement a notice stating that, pursuant to the requirements of this section, the
operator of the vehicle is liable for payment of a parking violation fine incurred
when the operator has the care, custody, or control of the motor vehicle. The notice
shall inform the operator that the operator's name and address shall be furnished
to the prosecutorial division of the appropriate jurisdiction when a parking violation
fine is incurred by the operator.

(2) The provisions of this section may be adopted by local authorities
pursuant to section 42-4-110 (1).
