any city, town or village of the state which has been designated by such
city, town or village or pursuant to the provisions of section twelve
hundred three-c of this chapter as a place for parking for persons with
disabilities. The design, period of validity, and procedures for
reissuance of such permits shall be as determined by the commissioner.
The governing bodies of cities, towns and villages in the state shall
appoint an issuing agent to issue such permits. The permits shall be
issued to:
(i) any resident of New York state who is a severely disabled person,
as defined in subdivision three of section four hundred four-a of this
chapter, upon application of such person or such person's parent or
guardian, provided, however, that an issuing agent shall issue permits
only to residents of the city, town or village in which such issuing
agent is located, except that, an issuing agent, in his or her
discretion, may issue a permit to a severely disabled person who is not
a resident of the city, town, or village in which such issuing agent is
located where such person resides in a city, town, or village in which
the governing body has not appointed an issuing agent; and an issuing
agent, in his or her discretion, may issue a temporary special vehicle
identification parking permit, as authorized by subdivision three of
this section, to a person who is temporarily unable to ambulate without

in a city, town, or village in which the issuing agent does not issue
temporary special vehicle identification parking permits, or who is not
a resident of the United States and is temporarily visiting the state;
or

or any of its political subdivisions, that operates a motor vehicle for
purposes of transporting handicapped persons, upon the application of

has been issued is being transported and such permit shall not be
transferable and shall be forfeited if presented by any other person.
Any abuse by any person, facility or agency to whom such permit has been
issued of any privilege, benefit, precedence or consideration granted
pursuant to the issuance of such permit, shall be sufficient cause for
revocation of said permit.

commissioner shall be recognized statewide and, except for a permit
issued pursuant to and used subject to the limitations of subdivision
three of this section is the only valid permit for the purpose of
preserving parking spaces for the handicapped.
3. Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter to the contrary, any
municipality may issue a temporary special vehicle identification
parking permit to any person who is temporarily unable to ambulate
without the aid of an assisting device, as certified by a physician.

valid for not more than six months and shall be recognized statewide.

dollars nor more than one thousand dollars.

handicapped as provided for in sections one thousand two hundred three-a
and one thousand two hundred three-c of this chapter shall also be
extended to a motor vehicle registered in accordance with section four
hundred four-a of this chapter. A handicapped permit issued in
accordance with the provisions of section one thousand two hundred
three-a of this chapter shall entitle the driver to park in such parking
spaces. Parking spaces for the handicapped shall be those parking spaces
accorded to a holder of a handicapped parking permit provided in
accordance with section one thousand two hundred three-a or as provided
in section four hundred four-a of this chapter.
2. It shall be a violation for any person to stop, stand or park a
vehicle in any area designated as a place for handicapped parking unless
the vehicle bears a permit issued under section one thousand two hundred
three-a or a registration issued under section four hundred four-a of
this chapter and such vehicle is being used for the transportation of a
severely disabled or handicapped person. This subdivision shall not
apply to a violation of section twelve hundred three-c of this chapter.
S 1203-c. Off street parking spaces for the handicapped. 1. Any
person, firm or corporation owning a shopping center or facility with at
least five separate retail stores and at least twenty off street parking
spaces which are provided for use by the shopping public must designate
as only for the handicapped and clearly mark for use by the handicapped
a minimum of five percent of such parking spaces or ten such spaces
whichever is less. These spaces must be located as close as reasonably
practicable to the shopping center facility and reasonably distributed
so as to provide convenient access for use by handicapped drivers. Such
parking spaces are to be used either by handicapped drivers displaying a
special municipal parking permit (as defined in section twelve hundred
three-a of this chapter and distributed by the commissioner of motor
vehicles to local governing bodies to be issued to handicapped persons
who reside in such locality) or by motor vehicles registered in
accordance with section four hundred four-a of this chapter and being
used for the transportation of a handicapped person.
2. (a) The parking spaces designated pursuant to the provisions of
this section shall be clearly identified for use by handicapped persons
which designation shall include conspicuous and permanently installed
above grade signs which display the international symbol of access and
which shall be positioned from the parking space surface at a height of
not less than five feet nor more than seven feet and may include the use
of blue painted lines or markings. Such parking spaces also may be
marked as tow-away zones.
(b) Whenever a person, firm or corporation creates an off-street
parking lot, or repaves or repaints more than one-half of the total
number of parking spaces in an off-street parking lot which contains
designated handicapped parking spaces, or creates designated handicapped
parking spaces in an off-street parking lot, or repaves or repaints more
than one-half of the total number of designated handicapped parking
spaces in an off-street parking lot, specifications as to the size of
designated handicapped parking spaces and designated handicapped parking
space access aisles shall be in accordance with the requirements of the
New York state uniform fire prevention and building code.
3. A violation of this section by any person, firm or corporation
owning a shopping center or facility with at least five separate retail
stores and at least twenty off street parking spaces which are provided
for use by the shopping public who fails to provide spaces only for the
handicapped and clearly marked for use by the handicapped in accordance
with this section, shall be punishable by a fine up to two hundred fifty
dollars.
4. Except as otherwise provided by local law which imposes a larger
maximum fine, any person who stops, stands or parks in spaces clearly
marked for use by the handicapped in accordance with this section,
without a special vehicle identification parking permit, a special
municipal parking permit or whose motor vehicle is not registered in
accordance with section four hundred four-a of this chapter and being
used for the transportation of a handicapped person; or with such permit
or registration and such person is not the one to whom the permit or
registration was issued or is not transporting the person issued the
permit or registration; or any person who parks in a handicapped parking
access aisle; shall be subject to a fine of not less than fifty dollars
nor more than seventy-five dollars for the first offense and
seventy-five to one hundred fifty dollars for the second offense
occurring within a period of two years within the same municipality. The

this section. A ticketing officer issuing a summons pursuant to this
section may provide for the removal and storage of a motor vehicle
illegally parked in a handicapped parking space, or a handicapped
parking access aisle.

a "severely disabled person" as defined in section four hundred four-a
of this chapter.

shopping center or facility as described in subdivision one of this
section or any other parking lot as described in the state fire
prevention and building code, which is required to contain accessible
and designated parking spaces for people with disabilities, regardless
of the existence or absence of any state or local law or rule otherwise
permitting or restricting such access for such law enforcement officer.
S 1203-d. Out-of-state vehicles bearing special identification. Motor
vehicles displaying a special license plate or parking permit issued by
any other state, district, territory or other governmental entity
subject to the laws of the United States, or a foreign country for the
purpose of granting special parking privileges to people with
disabilities shall be accorded the special parking privileges allowed
pursuant to the provisions of sections twelve hundred three-b and twelve
hundred three-c of this article.

shall be subject to a fine of twenty-five dollars for the first offense
and a fine not to exceed one hundred dollars for every offense
thereafter. However, a local or municipal government may, by local law
or ordinance, establish fines higher than those established in this
section, but in no instance shall the fines exceed fifty dollars for the
first offense or two hundred dollars for the second or subsequent
offense.
S 1203-f. Handicapped parking enforcement. 1. A county, city, town

the liability for such violation; (iii) provide that a certificate,

evidence of a handicapped parking violation; and
(f) provide the following with respect to notices of violation: (i) a
notice of violation shall be sent by first class mail to each person

evidence of the facts contained therein; (ii) a notice of violation
shall reference the law which was allegedly violated, and shall contain
the name and address of the person alleged to be liable as an owner for
a violation of a handicapped parking law or ordinance, the registration
number of the vehicle involved in such violation, the location where
such violation took place, the date and time of such violation, and the

default judgment may be entered thereon.
S 1203-g. Establishment of the handicapped parking education program.
1. Every county and the city of New York shall establish a separate
handicapped parking education program. Each program shall be organized
by a coordinator for handicapped parking education and advocacy, who

there be one, otherwise by the chair of the governing board of the
county, and in the city of New York, a person designated by the mayor
thereof.
2. The handicapped parking education program shall be established for
the purposes of providing education, advocacy and increased awareness of
handicapped parking laws. The program shall provide funding for

at the request of the county legislature or other governing body of the
county, a verified account of all moneys received and expended by the

that the commissioner shall not distribute such permits to cities having
a population of one million or more which issue special vehicle
identification parking permits pursuant to paragraph fifteen of
subdivision a of section twenty-nine hundred three of the New York city
charter which waive the payment of metered parking fees. Notwithstanding
any local law or ordinance to the contrary, such permits shall entitle
any vehicle displaying such waiver permit to park at any metered parking
space in any city, village or town of the state and such permits shall
waive metered parking fees imposed by such city or village pursuant to

(a) of section sixteen hundred forty of this chapter or paragraph nine
of subdivision (a) of section sixteen hundred sixty of this chapter that
is applicable to a motor vehicle parking in such metered parking space
without such permit.

for reissuance of such waiver permits shall be as determined by the
commissioner.
3. Such waiver permits shall be issued by issuing agents appointed
pursuant to subdivision one of section twelve hundred three-a of this
article by governing bodies of cities, villages and towns having a
population of less than one million to persons with disabilities who:
(a) are residents of New York state; and
(b) are residents of the city, town or village in which such issuing
agent is located, except that, an issuing agent, in his or her
discretion, may issue a permit to a severely disabled person who is not
a resident of the city, town, or village in which such issuing agent is
located where such person resides in a city, town, or village in which
the governing body has not appointed an issuing agent; and
(c) hold a valid driver's license issued by New York state; and

wheelchair or other ambulatory device; or

use exclusively in a vehicle when the person to whom it has been issued
is driving and unaccompanied by a person able to put payment into a
parking meter. Such permit shall not be transferable and shall be
forfeited if used by any other person. Any abuse by any person to whom
such waiver permit has been issued shall be sufficient cause for
revocation of said permit.
5. The special metered parking waiver permit issued by the
commissioner shall be recognized statewide and is the only valid permit,
other than a special vehicle identification parking permit issued by
cities having a population of one million or more pursuant to paragraph
fifteen of subdivision a of section twenty-nine hundred three of the New
York city charter, for the waiver of metered parking fees for certain
severely disabled drivers.
6. A person who knowingly and willfully, with the intent to deceive,
makes a false statement or gives information which such individual knows
to be false to a public official to obtain a metered parking waiver
permit in addition to any other penalty provided by law, shall be
subject to a civil penalty of not less than two hundred fifty dollars
nor more than one thousand dollars.
