Bill > SB414

This bill modifies the Pennsylvania vehicle code to expand the process for issuing temporary disability parking placards by allowing legislative district offices and authorized organizations to directly issue these placards to qualifying individuals. The bill defines a new process where these offices can request placards from the department, which will provide training and materials for proper issuance. Applicants must complete a form asserting they meet disability qualifications, and the issuing office must electronically submit the application to the department. The temporary placards will be valid for up to six months, and authorized organizations cannot charge fees for issuance beyond actual postage costs. The bill also provides new definitions for "authorized organization" (a nationally recognized nonprofit or business authorized as an online messenger with the department) and "legislative district office" (a district office of a state Senator or Representative). The changes aim to make obtaining disability parking placards more accessible by creating additional distribution points and streamlining the application process. The bill will take effect 90 days after passage.
