Exempts disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients from payment of municipal parking meter fees when vehicle bears veteran's or recipient's special license plate or placard issued by MVC.

This bill exempts disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients from paying municipal parking meter fees when their vehicle displays a special license plate or placard issued by New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). It applies directly to these veterans and recipients when they are driving or riding as a passenger in a vehicle displaying the MVC-issued plate or placard. The exemption covers standard parking meter fees but does not apply if a vehicle is parked for more than 24 hours at one location. The bill amends existing law to clarify this exemption and requires the MVC to issue the necessary placards.
