AN ACT CONCERNING THE PLACEMENT OF PARKING PLACARDS ISSUED TO PERSONS WITH BLINDNESS OR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES THAT LIMIT OR IMPAIR THE ABILITY TO WALK.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
That the general statutes be amended to require any person who has a handicapped parking placard to place the placard on their car's rear view mirror; and that if the placard breaks, the permit holder may not place the permit on the dashboard but must get a new permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Statement of Purpose:
To ensure that the public can easily see the parking placard in the car.
