Bill Summary

Relative to the payment of fees to challenge or appeal a finding of a local police department by persons holding handicapped licenses or placards. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend the General Laws of Massachusetts to exempt individuals who legally possess a handicap license or placard from paying any fees to challenge or appeal a finding by a local police department that their automobile was parked in a handicap space in violation of local ordinance or state law. Additionally, the bill changes the procedures for challenging a parking violation notice, allowing alleged violators to send in written statements and other materials to the parking clerk or hearing officer for review and disposition by mail, without having to appear in person. The decision of the mayor or board of selectmen on such appeals would then be final, subject to judicial review.
