Authorizes parking privileges for certain immediate family members of persons with dementia.
This bill creates a special parking program for immediate family members of individuals diagnosed with dementia in New Jersey. It allows caregivers to apply for a placard that permits them to park in spaces reserved for municipal residents, university lots, and designated areas at medical facilities and retail stores. The program includes provisions for overnight parking and metered spots for up to 24 hours without penalty, provided the vehicle is being used to render health or personal care services. Placards are valid for two years, require a modest application fee, and must be registered with the Motor Vehicle Commission to prevent misuse.
