Bill > H7056

This bill expands the group of people exempt from paying parking fees at state-owned recreational facilities to include individuals who are determined to be disabled for the purpose of Medicaid eligibility by the executive office of health and human services (HHS) or an agency it designates. Currently, exemptions are granted to individuals with disabilities who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or are 100% disabled veterans through a service-connected disability, provided they present proper identification. Medicaid is a government program that provides health coverage to low-income individuals and families, and this change aims to include those who qualify for it based on disability in the parking fee exemption. The bill also specifies that this exemption will take effect immediately upon its passage.
