Bill Summary

Establishes a state reserved parking space enforcement fine for the unauthorized use of parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities or electric vehicles. Deposits fifty percent of all fines into the general fund and fifty percent of all fines into the Safe Routes to School Program Special Fund. Specifies that a fine shall not be imposed on a person who parks in a space designated and marked as reserved for electric vehicles if the electric vehicle charging system is visibly inoperable or broken. (CD1)

AI Summary

This bill establishes a comprehensive enforcement mechanism for unauthorized parking in spaces reserved for persons with disabilities and electric vehicles in Hawaii. The legislation introduces significant financial penalties for improper use of these specialized parking spaces, including a new "state reserved parking space enforcement fine" ranging from $50 to $100 depending on the specific violation. For disability parking spaces, individuals who improperly use these spots can be fined between $250-$500, with an additional $100 enforcement fine, while electric vehicle parking space violations carry a $50-$100 base fine plus a $50 enforcement fine. Importantly, the bill specifies that no fine will be imposed if an electric vehicle charging station is visibly inoperable or broken. The revenue generated from these fines will be equally split, with 50% deposited into the state's general fund and 50% directed to the Safe Routes to School Program Special Fund. The legislation aims to protect access for individuals with mobility disabilities and encourage electric vehicle adoption by ensuring these designated parking spaces remain available for their intended users, addressing issues of improper use and insufficient enforcement that have previously hindered the effectiveness of these parking programs.
