Hawaii SB431 strengthens penalties for parking in spaces reserved for persons with disabilities and allows citizens to report violations.

Hawaii SB431 amends the state's parking laws to increase penalties for those who obstruct parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities. Violators face fines ranging from $250 to $500 and additional court costs. The bill also allows individuals with valid disability parking permits to report violations to the Department of Law Enforcement. The department will review these reports and, if deemed legitimate, notify the vehicle's owner without disclosing the reporter's identity.
