The initial amendment targeted vehicle with Quebec license plates.
Gananoque's controversial amendment to the town's parking by-law will now apply to all vehicles outside of Ontario.
Mayor John Beddows had used the Strong Mayor Powers to initially amend the bylaw that would have seen the wheels of vehicles with Quebec plates clamped following a parking fine.
When asked for an interview by KingstonDaily.ca, Beddows respectfully declined to comment, however has provided information regarding the newly amended by law.
The bylaw, which is part of the 27 point Mayoral Directive, now reads under section 8e. "Collection of Parking Fines from out-of-province vehicles – amend parking bylaw to permit clamping of tires of out-of-province vehicles on issuance of a parking ticket. Create new class of parking ticket for clamped vehicles which includes full cost-recovery of clamping and un-clamping the vehicle."
The document was changed and signed by the Mayor on Tuesday.
