Any municipality may, by ordinance, authorize its parking authority or parking division to collect and receive all revenue from parking meters located on public streets in the municipality or to establish metered on-street parking zones. Any municipality that has adopted an ordinance under section 7-204a may authorize its parking authority to receive the amount remitted to the municipality for parking violations under subsection (b) of section 51-56a.
