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 traveling in a vehicle displaying their special license plate or placard issued by New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). It applies only when the veteran or recipient is driving or riding as a passenger, and does not cover vehicles parked longer than 24 hours in one location. The exemption specifically covers parking meter fees, not other parking costs, and requires the MVC to issue the necessary placards. The bill directly affects eligible veterans and Purple Heart recipients using municipal parking.
