   contract with  public  or  private  entities  to  issue  citations  to      
   individuals  who  violate  statutory  provisions or ordinances dealing      
   with parking privileges for disabled persons. Requires  the  chief  of      
   police  or  sheriff  to  train  the volunteers before allowing them to      
   issue citations.  Provides that the citations issued by the volunteers      
   and public or private entities have the same force and effect as those      
   issued by police officers.  Provides that all  funds  collected  as  a      
   result  of  the payment of the parking violations shall be paid to the      
   municipality or county where the notice is issued. Provides  that  the      
   chief  of police or sheriff shall execute a written agreement with the      
   volunteer or public or private entity concerning liability.

        Removes the provisions concerning the chief of police or sheriff       
   executing a written agreement with the volunteer or entity requiring        
   the volunteer or entity to assume all liability. Provides that the          
   volunteer or entity is not liable for an act or omission in the execu-      
   tion or enforcement of laws or ordinances if acting within the scope        
   of the appointment or contract, unless the act or omission constitutes      
   willful and wanton conduct. Provides that a chief of police, sheriff,       
   or employee of a police department or sheriff is not liable for an          
   injury caused by an act or omission of the volunteer or entity. Pro-        
   vides that no local government, chief of police, sheriff, or an em-         
   ployee shall be liable for any actions regarding the supervision or         
   direction of or the failure to supervise and direct a volunteer or          
   entity unless the act or omission constitutes willful and wanton con-

        Provides that the volunteer or entity shall assume all liability       
   for and hold the property owner and his agents and employees harmless       
   from any and all claims of action resulting from the work of the            
   volunteer or entity.

          SB225 would have no fiscal impact on the Sec. of State office.       
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE (DCCA)                                    
          SB 225 fails to create a State mandate.
