What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill expands certain parking privileges for vehicles with disabled parking

plates or special identification cards to include University of Wisconsin System

campuses.

Under current law, a person with a disability that limits or impairs the ability

to walk may apply for and obtain from the Department of Transportation special

motor vehicle registration plates or a special identification card entitling a motor

vehicle used by the person to certain parking privileges. Except as provided by

ordinance in first or second class cities, vehicles bearing these plates or cards are not

subject to time limitations on parking on any municipally owned or leased street or

in any municipally owned or leased parking lot with at least a 30-minute time

limitation and no meter payment is required to be made.
