Waives metered parking fees for vehicles displaying a handicapped permit or with handicapped plates.

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to waive metered parking fees for certain vehicles displaying a handicapped permit or with handicapped plates. It applies to severely disabled individuals who meet specific criteria, such as limited fine motor control or inability to reach a parking meter. The waiver is recognized statewide and is the only valid permit for this purpose, except for those issued by cities with a population of one million or more. The bill also imposes a civil penalty for knowingly making false statements to obtain a metered parking waiver permit.
