A 968 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Allows municipality to establish reserved parking zone on property adjacent to disabled person's residence.

This bill (A-968) allows New Jersey municipalities to create reserved parking zones on property *adjacent* to a residence occupied by a person with a disability, if parking directly in front is prohibited by law or would disrupt traffic flow. It requires the municipality to obtain written consent from the adjacent property owner using a standard form prescribed by the Motor Vehicle Commission, with consent expiring every two years or upon property sale. The bill updates the language from "handicapped" to "person with a disability" in existing law and clarifies that the reserved parking zone reverts to regular use after consent expires unless renewed. This directly affects disabled residents seeking accessible parking and adjacent property owners who must consent to the zone.
