Bill > S2815

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to expand parking privileges for individuals with disabilities. Specifically, it allows holders of disabled veteran license plates or placards, and certain holders of Purple Heart license plates or placards, to park in designated disability parking spots. The bill clarifies that a "person with a disability" now includes those who have been issued a disabled veteran license plate or placard by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, or those who have a Purple Heart license plate or placard and have a certified limited or impaired ability to walk. This means that individuals with these specific plates or placards will no longer need to obtain separate disability identification cards or display other disability-specific plates or placards to use these reserved parking spaces, provided they display their valid disabled veteran or Purple Heart identification.
