���� 1.��� Section 1 of P.L.2015, 
c.218 (C.39:4-207.10) is amended to read as follows:

���� 1. �a.� A person who is a disabled veteran or a 
recipient of the Purple Heart or an honorably discharged

[owned by the disabled veteran or the Purple Heart 
recipient] displays disabled veteran's 
or Purple Heart license plates or a placard issued by the New Jersey Motor 
Vehicle Commission pursuant to the provisions of Title 39 of the Revised 
Statutes[, unless the vehicle has 
been parked in one location for more than 24 hours].� The exemption provided under this subsection shall 
apply only when the disabled veteran or recipient of the Purple Heart or honorably 
discharged veteran to whom the special license plates or placards have 
been issued is either the driver[,] or a passenger[,] of the motor vehicle 
and shall not apply when the motor vehicle is parked for more than 24 hours

section, pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968,

STATEMENT

���� This bill allows the use of a 
placard issued to an honorably discharged veteran to permit a veteran to be 
exempt from paying a parking meter fee when driving or traveling as a passenger 
in a motor vehicle regardless of the vehicle�s ownership.� The exemption does 
not apply to instances when the motor vehicle is parked for more than 24 hours 
at one location where the motor vehicle is subject to a fee.

���� Current law permits disabled 
veterans and Purple Heart recipients to be exempt from paying parking meter 
fees when the disabled veteran�s or Purple Heart recipient�s vehicle is parked 
in a single location for a period of no more than 24 hours and the vehicle 
displays a disabled veteran or Purple Heart recipient license plate or placard 
issued by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
