Allows vehicles bearing Purple Heart and disabled veteran plates to park in handicapped parking spaces

This bill (S 7095) amends New York's vehicle and traffic law to allow vehicles displaying Purple Heart plates or disabled veteran plates to park in designated handicapped parking spaces. It directly affects veterans who hold these specific license plates, including those wounded in service (Purple Heart) or with service-connected disabilities (disabled veteran plate). The key provision adds these plate types to the list of authorized vehicles under existing handicapped parking rules, explicitly extending access to the same parking spaces. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
