Bill > S05845

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law and New York City charter to ensure that vehicles with handicapped parking permits issued anywhere in the state can legally park in handicapped parking spaces throughout New York City. Specifically, the bill modifies existing regulations to clarify that special vehicle identification parking permits distributed by the state commissioner will now be valid in all handicapped parking spaces in any city, town, or village in New York, including those in New York City. The legislation removes previous local restrictions that might have limited the use of handicapped parking permits from other jurisdictions within New York City. By making this change, the bill aims to provide more consistent and accessible parking options for individuals with disabilities across the state, ensuring that a handicapped parking permit issued in one part of New York will be recognized and honored in New York City. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
