§ 31-30. Immobilization – Subsequent acquittal on citations.

(a) Charges rebated.

If following trial in the District Court of Maryland or other tribunal, a not guilty verdict is entered upon any of the parking violations charged against the vehicle immobilized, notwithstanding the ruling of the hearing officer with respect to the immobilization of the vehicle, all charges advanced as having accrued upon the vehicle by virtue of its immobilization, including the collateral advanced, for such parking violation upon which a not guilty verdict was entered, shall be returned to the person who advanced such sums upon presentation of the official receipt issued at the time said vehicle was released.

(b) Booting fee rebated.

It is further provided that if, as the result of the Court's decision, the number of parking violations charged against the vehicle previously immobilized, is reduced to 2 or less, and provided no refund has previously been made, the booting fee shall also be returned to the person who advanced such fee, upon presentation of the official receipt issued at the time said vehicle was released.
