The bill amends Section 31-28-7.3 of the General Laws regarding the "Disability parking enforcement program." It mandates that various state entities, including the state police, the department of environmental management, and the governor's commission on disabilities, establish and enhance disability parking enforcement programs. The bill specifies that beginning January 1, 2026, cities, towns, and state agencies are required to submit annual progress reports to the governor's commission on disabilities. These reports must detail collections of fines, enforcement procedures, and any challenges or successes encountered in the disability parking enforcement programs. Additionally, following the receipt of these reports, the governor's commission on disabilities may suggest improvements to the enforcement programs. The inclusion of the governor's commission on disabilities in the decision-making process and the requirement for annual reporting are key aspects of this legislation aimed at improving the enforcement of disability parking laws. This act would take effect upon passage.
