HB 1410 -- LICENSE PLATES AND PARKING SPACES FOR PHYSICALLY
DISABLED

This bill requires the Director of Revenue, when reviewing
physicians' statements in connection with applications for
license plates for the physically disabled, to check with the
Board of Podiatric Medicine for statements signed by physicians
of the foot or podiatrists to determine whether a physician is
duly licensed and registered.

The bill also requires that on-street parking spaces in
residential areas intended for those with disabilities meet the
requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and
makes it clear that any such parking space must have the
international symbol of accessibility clearly and visibly
painted on it and any curb adjacent to such parking space must
be painted in blue.
