Bill Summary
Requires the Disability and Communication Access Board to issue a disability travel placard to an applicant who has a valid removeable windshield placard and provides proof of travel. Effective 7/1/3000. (HD1)
AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 3000, establishes a new "disability travel placard" for individuals with disabilities who possess a valid removable windshield placard, which is a permit allowing them to park in designated accessible parking spaces. The purpose of this new placard is to address situations where individuals travel to different islands or outside the state and need to use accessible parking at places like airports or ports, but must take their primary windshield placard with them. The bill mandates that the issuing agency, likely a state board such as the Disability and Communication Access Board, will issue this temporary travel placard upon receiving a completed application, proof of travel, and confirmation of a valid removable windshield placard. This disability travel placard will be valid until the end of the month following the traveler's return date, will have its expiration date clearly marked, and will be distinct in color from other disability parking permits.
