Who is responsible for enforcing the proper use of permits and decals?

The enforcement of the proper use of permits and decals primarily falls to law enforcement officers and DMV compliance officers. These individuals have the authority and responsibility to ensure that vehicles meet legal requirements, including the proper display and use of permits and decals. Their training equips them to identify violations and take appropriate action, such as issuing citations or providing warnings, ensuring that regulations are upheld for public safety and compliance.

While state legislators are involved in creating and setting laws, they do not enforce those laws directly. Local city officials may have roles in managing local traffic regulations but typically do not handle the specific enforcement of vehicle permits and decals. Private security personnel typically do not have the authority to enforce DMV regulations or traffic laws as they function mainly within private facilities and situations. Therefore, law enforcement officers and DMV compliance officers are specifically designated to enforce these regulations effectively.
