Preamble By-laws re public highways Enforcement Identification, receipt The Corporation of the City of Brampton, referred to in this Act as the Corporation, has applied for special legislation to regulate activ- ities on public highways under its jurisdiction. It is appropriate to grant the application. Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows: 1.

Despite any other Act, the council of the Corporation may pass by-laws regulating or prohibiting the selling, offering to sell or dis- playing of any goods, merchandise, products, refreshments, foodstuffs or flowers on public highways over which the Corporation has jurisdiction. 2.

(1) A police officer, police cadet, munici- pal law enforcement officer, provincial offen- ces officer or any person authorized by by-law to enforce a by-law passed under this Act, who has reason to believe that any object, vehicle or thing is stopped, parked, placed or left on a public highway under the jurisdiction of the Corporation in contravention of the by-law, may cause it to be removed and taken to and stored in a suitable place.

(2) If there is a person in charge of the object, vehicle or thing, the person authorized to enforce the by-law shall produce appropriate identification and inform the person that the object, vehicle or thing is on a public highway contrary to the by-law and shall give a receipt to the person for the object, vehicle or thing removed.

(3) Subject to subsections (4) and (5), all costs and charges for the removal, care and storage of any object, vehicle or thing under the by-law are a lien upon it under the by-law which may be enforced by the Corporation in the manner provided by the Repair and Stor- age Liens Act.

(4) Any object, vehicle or thing removed and stored in accordance with subsection (1) and not claimed by the owner within 60 days is the property of the Corporation and may be sold and the proceeds shall form part of the general funds of the Corporation.

A by-law under this Act may apply to a sidewalk or boulevard or any highway within the regional road system established under the Regional Municipalities Act and the Regional Municipality of Peel Act if the Regional Coun- cil has passed a by-law under paragraph of
