in Ankeny. The assignment of legislative parking spaces shall be
under the control of the legislative council. The rules established
by the director may establish fines for violations and a procedure
for payment of the fines. The director may order payment of a fine
and enforce the order in the district court.
2. Motor vehicles parked in violation of the rules may be removed
without the owner's or operator's consent and at the owner's or

available to all state officials and employees and any other person
who requests a copy of the rules.
4. Except as provided in subsection 5, all fines collected by the
department shall be forwarded to the treasurer of state and deposited
in the general fund of the state.
5. Any fine that remains unpaid upon becoming delinquent may be
collected by the department pursuant to the setoff procedures
provided for in section 8A.504. For purposes of this subsection, a
fine becomes delinquent if it has not been paid within thirty days of

the department. If an appeal is filed and the citation is upheld,
the fine becomes delinquent ten days after the issuance of the final
