Bill > S2428

This bill modifies existing Massachusetts law regarding handicap parking placards by adding a provision specifically for individuals with autism spectrum disorders. Under the proposed change, an individual diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, or their parent or guardian, may be issued a special parking placard. Importantly, the parent or guardian can only use this placard when they are directly transporting the person diagnosed with autism. The bill aims to provide additional parking accommodations for individuals with autism and their caregivers, recognizing the unique challenges they may face when traveling. By adding this specific language to the state's existing transportation regulations (Chapter 90), the bill seeks to improve accessibility and ease of movement for people with autism spectrum disorders.
