Vehicles: disabled persons placard.

Existing law authorizes a disabled person or disabled veteran displaying a special license plate or a distinguishing placard, as issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles or foreign jurisdiction, to park for unlimited periods in specified zones, including, but not limited to, any parking zone that is restricted to the length of time parking is permitted, and to park in metered spaces without paying parking meter fees. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to protect the needs of disabled persons and veterans and would prohibit a city or county from adopting an ordinance or passing a resolution that limits in any way the authority for a disabled person or disabled veteran to park a vehicle pursuant to these provisions.
