Bill > HB448

This bill amends Titles 9, 21, and 22 of the Delaware Code to establish new requirements for accessible parking spaces. The key provisions are: 1. It defines an "accessible parking space" and sets detailed standards for the design, construction, and maintenance of these spaces, including requirements for signage, access aisles, and placement. 2. It requires counties and municipalities to adopt regulations to ensure compliance with these new standards, including a permitting process for installing or altering accessible parking spaces. 3. It increases the fines for illegally parking in an accessible space and provides for additional penalties, such as suspension or revocation of special license plates or placards. 4. It strengthens enforcement by requiring counties and municipalities to adopt ordinances with enforcement provisions and penalties, and to issue written warnings before issuing citations. The bill aims to improve the availability and quality of accessible parking for people with disabilities in Delaware, and to better enforce the proper use of these spaces.
