HB 400 -- FREE PARKING FOR CERTAIN VETERANS Upon the approval of a local authority's governing body, this bill allows a veteran displaying a Congressional Medal of Honor, Prisoner of War, Silver Star, or PURPLE HEART special license plate to park his or her motor vehicle without charge in a metered parking space within the authority's jurisdiction if it is less than 6,000 pounds gross weight. A veteran who has been awarded the Bronze Star may apply to the Director of the Department of Revenue for a windshield placard which will allow him or her to also park without charge in a metered parking space if the placard is hung from the front, middle rearview mirror or displayed on the dashboard on the driver's side if there is no rearview mirror. Certain vehicle and parking restrictions are specified.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
