HD 2188 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act allowing cities and towns the authority to issue temporary parking identification placards to the temporarily disabled

This bill (HD 2188) allows cities and towns to issue temporary parking placards to residents with short-term mobility limitations, such as recovery from surgery or temporary limb loss. It directly affects individuals who need short-term access to designated parking spots but do not qualify for permanent disabled parking permits. The placards, issued by a city's police department with medical documentation, are valid for up to 90 days and renewable once for another 90 days. The bill specifies that placards must follow a uniform design approved by the motor vehicle registrar and display requirements consistent with existing disabled parking rules.
