Hull can set parking ticket fines

Effective upon passage, the law lets Hull’s select board set parking fines despite conflicting state laws. Fines cannot exceed $100 when paid within 21 days of assessment. The cap is $110 when paid after 21 days but before the parking clerk reports the violation to the registrar. Once the violation is reported to the registrar, the cap is $150. These are maximum amounts; the law does not set the actual fines the board adopts.
