 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 3 § 1203-h. Metered parking [waiver] waived for certain disabilities. 1.
 4 [The commissioner shall distribute metered parking waiver permits to the
 5 governing bodies of all cities, villages and towns; provided, however,
 6 that the commissioner shall not distribute such permits to cities having
 7 a population of one million or more which issue special vehicle iden-
 8 tification parking permits pursuant to paragraph fifteen of subdivision
 9 a of section twenty-nine hundred three of the New York city charter
 10 which waive the payment of metered parking fees.] Notwithstanding any
 11 local law or ordinance to the contrary, [such] parking permits for hand-
 12 icapped persons issued by a municipality of the state pursuant to
 13 section twelve hundred three-a of this article and plates issued to a
 14 severely disabled person under section four hundred four-a of this chap-
 15 ter shall entitle any vehicle displaying such [waiver] permit or plate
 16 to park at any metered parking space in any city, village or town of the
 17 state and such permits and plates shall waive metered parking fees
 18 imposed by such city or village pursuant to paragraph nine of subdivi-
 19 sion (a) of section sixteen hundred forty of this chapter or imposed by
 20 such town pursuant to paragraph nine of subdivision (a) of section
 21 sixteen hundred sixty of this chapter. Provided, however, that such
 22 permit or plate shall not waive any time limit at a metered parking
 23 space imposed pursuant to paragraph nine of subdivision (a) of section
 24 sixteen hundred forty of this chapter or paragraph nine of subdivision
 25 (a) of section sixteen hundred sixty of this chapter that is applicable
 26 to a motor vehicle parking in such metered parking space without such
 27 permit or plate.
