Chapter 497 of the Laws of 1999 amends the Vehicle and Traffic
Law effective on April 1, 2000 to provide that every county and
the City of New York shall establish a handicapped parking education
program for the purpose of providing education, advocacy and increased
public awareness of handicapped parking laws. In order to fund this
program the statute provides for imposition of a $30 mandatory surcharge
for violations relating to handicapped parking spaces. This surcharge
is in addition to any other sentence, fine or penalty.
One-half of the amount will be paid to chef fiscal
officer of the county in which the violation occurred. These monies
must be used to fund the handicapped parking education program.
The other one-half of the surcharge will be paid to the chief fiscal
officer of the municipality which brought the charge for violation
The municipality's share will be used for local justice programs
and purposes. At least ten percent of the municipality's share must
be used for developing and implementing a disability awareness program
for local law enforcement agencies. The purpose of the disability
awareness program is to train local law enforcement personnel to
recognize and appropriately respond to persons with disabilities.
