This bill allows expectant mothers in their third trimester of pregnancy to obtain temporary parking privileges in New Jersey. Specifically, it mandates that the chief of police in each municipality issue a temporary placard to eligible expectant mothers, which will be valid for three months. The placard will enable them to park overtime at metered spaces and utilize designated parking spots for persons with disabilities without needing a separate disability identification card. The issuance of the placard requires written certification from qualified medical professionals, and the certification process will be standardized by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission in collaboration with local police chiefs.

The bill outlines that the temporary placard must be displayed on the vehicle used by the expectant mother and will incur a fee of $4 for issuance. The legislation aims to provide convenience and support to expectant mothers during their third trimester, ensuring they have access to necessary parking accommodations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
