A 5080 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns parking spaces restricted for persons with disabilities located near youth athletic fields.

This bill requires municipalities and school districts in New Jersey to place parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities near youth sports fields in locations where drivers and front seat passengers can see the games. The rule applies specifically when these entities build, expand, resurface, or repaint existing parking areas adjacent to athletic fields. By mandating that these spots face the field, the legislation ensures that individuals with disabilities can watch youth sports activities from their vehicles.
