Bill Summary
This bill clarifies that a disabled veteran or Purple Heart recipient is not required to own the motor vehicle upon which a disabled veteran or Purple Heart recipient license plate or placard is issued in order to be exempt from paying municipal parking meter fees.

This bill allows disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients that display a disabled veteran or Purple Heart recipient placard to park at a municipal parking meter free of charge regardless of who owns the vehicle, provided that the placard is displayed and the disabled veteran or Purple Heart recipient is the driver or passenger of the vehicle. The bill further clarifies that the disabled veteran or Purple Heart recipient may lease the motor vehicle for which a disabled veteran or Purple Heart license plate is issued in order to be exempt from paying municipal parking meter fees, provided that the disabled veteran or Purple Heart recipient is the driver or passenger of the motor vehicle.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies that disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients do not need to own the vehicle they are driving or riding in to be exempt from paying municipal parking meter fees. Under the current law, these individuals were required to own the vehicle displaying the disabled veteran or Purple Heart license plate or placard in order to receive the parking fee exemption. The bill now allows disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients to lease the vehicle and still be exempt from the fees, as long as they are the driver or passenger of the vehicle displaying the appropriate license plate or placard.
