Disabled parking; increase fine for those who unlawfully park in.
HB 700 (corrected title: "Amending disabled parking license plate provisions") modifies Mississippi's process for obtaining and renewing special disabled parking license plates. It requires physician certification confirming a disability that limits walking (e.g., inability to walk 200 feet without resting, needing assistive devices, or specific medical conditions) for initial issuance and renewal. The bill specifies that plates/decal validity aligns with vehicle registration periods, mandates renewal with updated physician certification, and requires surrender of expired permits. *Note: The bill's title incorrectly mentions "increasing fines," but the actual text focuses solely on permit eligibility and renewal rules, not fines for violations.* The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025.
