Enacts new GS 20-219.5 making it illegal for anyone other than the owner or lessee of a privately owned or leased parking space to park in the space without express permission if the private parking lot is clearly designated as private by a sign that meets the required specifications. Allows a vehicle illegally parked in a privately owned parking space to be immobilized in the space upon the written request of the parking space owner or lessee. Also makes it illegal for any person other than the immobilization company that attached the immobilization device to remove or tamper with the immobilization device. Sets out penalties for violations and makes violations that cause damage to the immobilization device to the extent that the device is unusable for its primary purpose, or otherwise prevents the immobilization company from further using the device, a Class 1 misdemeanor. Prohibits local governments from passing ordinances regulating the immobilization of vehicles unlawfully parked in privately owned or leased parking spaces or lots. Effective July 1, 2017.
