03:11 PM -- Disabled Parking Placards Legislation

Representative Frangas commented on potential TLRC legislation relating to parking for the disabled. He said that he has worked with law enforcement, the disabled community, disabled community representative Mark Simon, and county clerks on the issue. He said that the goal of the legislation will be to ensure that persons who are eligible for such parking have access to disabled parking spaces. He commented on the number of disabled parking placards that have been issued in Colorado. He said that there are more disabled parking tags issued than there are disabled persons in Colorado. Representative Frangas said that he believes that this matter should be examined. Representative Fischer said that such a bill should consider that many of the tags are issued on a temporary basis for medical reasons. Representative Frangas said that he believes that the enforcement mechanism for the proper use of such tags is not sufficient. Representative McFadyen said that the problem may be able to be addressed in departmental rules.
