This bill establishes a program allowing 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 allow them to park overtime at metered spaces and utilize designated parking for persons with disabilities. The placard is valid for three months and must clearly display its expiration date. To obtain the placard, expectant mothers must provide written certification from qualified medical professionals, including physicians, physician assistants, midwives, or nurse practitioners, confirming their third trimester status.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the certification must be submitted on a standard form developed by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission in collaboration with local police chiefs. Importantly, the physical presence of the expectant mother is not required for the placard's issuance. The fee for obtaining the temporary placard is set at $4, payable to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. This initiative aims to support expectant mothers by easing their parking challenges during the later stages of pregnancy.
