of the State Traffic Commission, may prohibit, limit or restrict the parking of vehicles,
may determine speed limits, may restrict roads or portions thereof to one-way traffic

History: 1969 act increased fine in Subsec. (a) from $10 to $25, deleted from Subsec. (b) specific fine for parking
violations by students and provision that disciplinary action be in lieu of proceeding in Subsec. (a), leaving only provision
that student fines be deposited in scholarship account, and added Subsecs. (c) to (e) re remission of fines to towns; P.A.
79-350 amended Subsecs. (b) and (c) to provide exception for fines imposed at Farmington Health Center; P.A. 82-223
amended Subsec. (a) by providing that violation of the Subsec. constituted an infraction, amended Subsec. (c) by deleting
the provision that all other fines belong to the town in which the violation occurred, deleted Subsec. (d) as obsolete and
redesignated Subsec. (e) as Subsec. (d) and clarified that parking fines imposed upon nonstudents are remitted to Mansfield;
Sec. 10-144 transferred to Sec. 10a-139 in 1983 pursuant to reorganization of higher education system; P.A. 83-577
amended Subsec. (a) to increase the fine from not more than $25 to $35; P.A. 86-333 specified that fine shall not be "not
more than" $35 in Subsec. (a); P.A. 91-256 deleted provision that fines not exceed $35, specified fines be deposited in the
operating funds, deleting references to auxiliary services fund and language on library services and acquisitions and made
technical changes; (Revisor's note: In 1993 the words "the health center of the university," were changed editorially by
the Revisors in Subsecs. (b) and (c) to "The University of Connecticut Health Center," for consistency with other statutory
references); P.A. 98-252 amended Subsec. (d) to allow the university to receive a share of the fines collected prior to July
1, 2001 and to require that fines collected after said date be deposited in the university operating fund rather than remitted
to the town of Mansfield, effective July 1, 1998.
