Rhode Island General Laws 1-6-11. Application to certain exempt entities
The surcharges authorized by § 1-6-2 shall apply notwithstanding § 42-64-20; provided, however, that the case of any transient parking facility operator as to which § 42-64-20 otherwise applies:
(1) The transient parking facility operator shall not be required to pay any permit fee in connection with the application for, or issuance of, any transient parking facility permit;
(2) The transient parking facility operator shall not be required to pay an amount greater than the surcharges actually collected by or on behalf of the transient parking facility operator. This provision shall apply notwithstanding the occurrence of any default by the transient parking facility operator;
(3) If the transient parking facility operator is a quasi-public corporation, no court may order the corporation to collect the surcharges or the proper amount of them, but an injunction may issue, if otherwise justified, against any officer or employee of the operator;
(4) Any assessment or order requiring the payment of surcharges shall be effective only against the trust funds established under § 1-6-10 and not against any other funds of the transient parking facility operator.
