Authorizes parking privileges for certain immediate family members of persons with dementia.
This New Jersey bill creates a special parking placard program for immediate family members of individuals diagnosed with dementia. The legislation allows these caregivers to apply for a permit that grants access to parking spaces typically reserved for residents, municipal lots, and medical facilities, including overnight parking in restricted areas and extended metered time. To obtain the placard, applicants must provide proof that they are actively rendering health or personal care services to a family member with dementia, and the permit is valid for two years with a modest application and renewal fee. The bill also establishes penalties for misuse, such as using the placard for non-caregiving purposes or submitting false information, and requires the Motor Vehicle Commission to maintain a registry of issued permits.
