Bill > A1275

Introduced Session

This bill permits expectant mothers during their third trimester of pregnancy to be eligible to receive a temporary parking placard, authorizing the expectant mother to park overtime at metered parking spots or to use special parking places established for use by persons with disabilities in any municipality of this State. Under the bill, the chief of police in each municipality is required to issue a temporary placard of not more than three months' duration to any expectant mother who is a resident of New Jersey during her third trimester of pregnancy, as certified by certain medical and healthcare professionals. Each temporary placard is valid for a period of three months and is required to display, in a clearly visible manner, the date on which the temporary placard will become invalid. The temporary placard is required to be granted upon proof to the chief of police in each municipality of written certification by certain certified medical and healthcare professionals that the expectant mother has entered into the third trimester of pregnancy. This certification is required to be provided on a standard form to be developed by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission in consultation with local chiefs of police. The temporary placard is required to be displayed on the motor vehicle used by the expectant mother during her third trimester of pregnancy, and the fee for the issuance of a temporary placard is $4.
