What changed in the latest version
16 added · 12 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendment to Bill SB 1239 clarifies the rules around parking in designated spaces for people with disabilities. Specifically, it now explicitly states that someone who is delivering or picking up a person with a physical disability can park temporarily in these spaces, even if their vehicle doesn’t have the required disability placard or special plates. This change is important because it aims to make it easier for caregivers to assist individuals with disabilities without the fear of receiving a parking ticket.
