Allows holders of disabled veteran license plates or placards and certain holders of Purple Heart license plates or placards to park in parking spots reserved for persons with disability.
This bill (S 1899) allows disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients with specific license plates to park in spaces reserved for people with disabilities. It directly affects New Jersey residents who hold disabled veteran license plates or Purple Heart plates certified by a doctor as limiting mobility. The key provision lets these individuals use their existing plates to park in disability zones without needing additional permits, though Purple Heart holders must carry medical certification proving mobility limitations and show it to police if asked. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
