Exempts honorably discharged veterans from payment of municipal parking meter fees when vehicle bears honorably discharged veteran's placard issued by MVC.
This bill (A-129) would expand an existing exemption to allow honorably discharged veterans to park for free in municipal metered spaces when their vehicle displays a veteran-specific placard issued by New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). Currently, only disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients receive this parking fee exemption. The bill specifies the exemption applies when the veteran is driving or a passenger, but not if the vehicle is parked more than 24 hours in one location. It directly affects honorably discharged veterans who use MVC-issued veteran placards in New Jersey municipalities with parking meters.
