before authorizing them to issue parking violation notices.
(c) A parking violation notice issued by a volunteer
appointed under this Section or by a public or private entity
that the chief of police or sheriff has contracted with under
this Section shall have the same force and effect as a
parking violation notice issued by a police officer for the
same offense.
(d) All funds collected as a result of the payment of
the parking violation notices issued under this Section shall
go to the municipality or county where the notice is issued.
(e) An appointed volunteer or private or public entity
under contract pursuant to this Section is not liable for his

of laws or ordinances if acting within the scope of the
appointment or contract authorized by this Section, unless

(f) Except as otherwise provided by statute, a local
government, a chief of police, sheriff, or employee of a
police department or sheriff, as such and acting within the
scope of his or her employment, is not liable for an injury
caused by the act or omission of an appointed volunteer or
private or public entity under contract pursuant to this
Section. No local government, chief of police, sheriff, or
an employee of a local government, police department or
sheriff shall be liable for any actions regarding the
supervision or direction, or the failure to supervise and
direct, an appointed volunteer or private or public entity
under contract pursuant to this Section unless the act or
omission constitutes willful and wanton conduct.
(g) An appointed volunteer or private or public entity

resulting from the work of the appointed volunteer or public
or private entity.
