Raised Bill No. 413 proposes significant revisions to motor vehicle statutes, particularly concerning removable windshield placards for individuals with disabilities. Key changes include the repeal of existing display requirements and the introduction of a new mandate that all placards must feature an expiration date in boldface font starting January 1, 2027. The bill also establishes the Accessible Parking Advisory Council, tasked with preventing fraud related to placard use and developing educational materials for healthcare professionals and law enforcement. Additionally, it modifies continuing medical education requirements for physicians, requiring them to complete a one-hour video presentation on placard acquisition as part of their license renewal.

The bill further amends regulations related to the transfer of motor vehicle ownership upon an owner's death, extending the application period for beneficiaries from sixty to one hundred twenty days and clarifying required documentation. It also introduces new definitions and regulations for electric scooters and bicycles, updates vehicle rental procedures, and streamlines the electronic issuance of vehicle registrations. Notably, the language in the bill replaces "violation" with "infraction," enhancing clarity in legal terminology. Overall, Raised Bill No. 413 aims to modernize motor vehicle laws to improve accessibility, safety, and efficiency in vehicle-related processes.
