The bill amends Section 31-28-7.3 of the General Laws concerning "Parking Facilities and Privileges" to establish a disability parking enforcement program. It mandates the involvement of the governor's commission on disabilities in the decision-making process for the disability parking enforcement enhancement program. The bill requires various state entities, including the state police, department of environmental management, airport corporation, capitol police, department of behavioral healthcare, developmental disabilities and hospitals, and state-operated colleges to establish and enhance these programs to improve compliance with disability parking laws.

Beginning January 1, 2026, and on each January 1 thereafter, cities, towns, and state agencies are required to submit an annual progress report to the governor's commission on disabilities. These reports must chronicle the collection of fines, procedures used, convictions, and any problems or successes resulting from the disability parking enforcement enhancement program. Following the receipt of these reports, the governor's commission on disabilities may suggest improvements to the program. This act would take effect upon passage.
