When any law enforcement officer or person authorized by the chief of police to issue
a handicapped parking citation observes or is advised by the owner or person in lawful
control of an off-street or privately owned parking facility that a motor vehicle
may be parked thereon in violation of this article, he or she shall make a determination
as to whether a violation has, in fact, occurred, and if so shall personally serve
or attach to such motor vehicle a citation pursuant to the provisions of section 29-424,
Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska 1943, as amended, directed to the owner or operator
of such vehicle, which shall set forth the nature of the violation. If the identity
of the operator of a motor vehicle in violation of this section cannot reasonably
be determined, the owner or person in whose name such vehicle is registered shall
be held prima facie responsible for such violation. Any person who refuses to sign
the citation or otherwise comply with the command of the citation shall be punished
as provided in section 29-426, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska 1943, as amended.
In no event shall any law enforcement officer or person authorized by the chief of
police to issue a handicapped parking citation be expected to remove any such unauthorized
vehicles as described herein. Responsibility for removal of such unauthorized vehicles
shall be with the owner of the off-street or privately owned parking facility, or
the person in lawful control thereof pursuant to section 60-2401, Reissue Revised
Statutes of Nebraska 1943, as amended.
