Bill Summary
Relative to handicapped parking (being the text of Senate document number 2168, printed as amended)
AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to the laws regarding handicapped parking in Massachusetts. It allows the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to waive the requirement for state agencies to display their name on handicapped placards. It imposes a $50 fine for obstructing the placard number or expiration date. The Registrar can now require additional documentation from applicants for handicapped placards and can revoke placards found to be obtained fraudulently, with fines of up to $1,000 for making false statements on the application. The bill also requires the Registrar to conduct a study on improving the application process to reduce wait times and provide more transparency.
