This bill allows the use of a special license plate or placard issued to a disabled veteran (veteran) or Purple Heart recipient (recipient) to permit a veteran or recipient to be exempt from paying a parking meter fee (fee) when driving or traveling as a passenger in a motor vehicle regardless of the vehicle's ownership. The exemption does not apply to instances when the motor vehicle is parked for more than 24 hours at one location where the motor vehicle is subject to a fee.
AI Summary
This bill expands the parking meter fee exemption for disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients, allowing them to avoid paying municipal parking meter fees when their vehicle displays a special license plate or a placard issued by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), regardless of who owns the vehicle. This exemption applies when the veteran or recipient is either driving or a passenger, but it does not apply if the vehicle is parked in one spot for over 24 hours. The bill also directs the Chief Administrator of the MVC to create rules and regulations for issuing these special placards.
