For purposes of this act, "parking enforcement officer" includes, but is not limited to, such similar titles as "parking control officer" and "parking violation officer" if the appointment, functions and authority of persons holding these titles are in compliance with the provisions of this act. A parking enforcement officer is not a special law enforcement officer within the meaning of the "Special Law Enforcement Officers Act," P.L. 1985, c. 439 (C. 40A:14-146.8 et seq.) and is not a member of the police force of the municipality in which he is employed as a parking enforcement officer.

No parking enforcement officer may carry or use a firearm while on duty. A parking enforcement officer is deemed to be on duty while the officer is performing the public safety functions enumerated in section 1 of this act and for which the officer is receiving compensation, if any, from the municipality at the rates or stipends as established by ordinance.

A parking enforcement officer is not eligible for membership in the Police and Firemen's Retirement System established pursuant to P.L. 1944, c. 255 (C. 43:16A-1 et seq.).
