The commissioner   shall  distribute  special vehicle identification parking permits to the   governing bodies of  all  cities,  towns  and  villages  in  the  state.   Notwithstanding any local law or ordinance to the contrary, such permits   shall  entitle any vehicle displaying such permit to park in any area in   any city, town or village of the state which has been designated by such   city, town or village or pursuant to the provisions  of  section  twelve   hundred  three-c of this chapter as a place for parking for persons with   disabilities.   The design,  period  of  validity,  and  procedures  for   reissuance  of  such permits shall be as determined by the commissioner.   The governing bodies of cities, towns and villages in  the  state  shall   appoint  an  issuing  agent  to issue such permits. The permits shall be   issued to:     (i) any resident of New York state who is a severely disabled  person,   as  defined  in subdivision three of section four hundred four-a of this   chapter, upon application of such person  or  such  person's  parent  or   guardian,  provided,  however, that an issuing agent shall issue permits   only to residents of the city, town or village  in  which  such  issuing   agent  is  located,  except  that,  an  issuing  agent,  in  his  or her   discretion, may issue a permit to a severely disabled person who is  not   a  resident of the city, town, or village in which such issuing agent is   located where such person resides in a city, town, or village  in  which   the  governing  body  has not appointed an issuing agent; and an issuing   agent, in his or her discretion, may issue a temporary  special  vehicle   identification  parking  permit,  as  authorized by subdivision three of   this section, to a person who is temporarily unable to ambulate  without   the aid of an assisting device, as certified by a physician, who resides   in  a  city,  town, or village in which the issuing agent does not issue   temporary special vehicle identification parking permits, or who is  not   a  resident  of the United States and is temporarily visiting the state;   or     (ii) any state facility, or agency licensed by the state of  New  York   or  any of its political subdivisions, that operates a motor vehicle for   purposes of transporting handicapped persons, upon  the  application  of   such a facility or agency.     For  the  purposes  of  paragraph (i) of this subdivision, such permit   shall be for use exclusively in a vehicle in which the person to whom it   has been issued is being  transported  and  such  permit  shall  not  be   transferable  and  shall  be forfeited if presented by any other person.   Any abuse by any person, facility or agency to whom such permit has been   issued of any privilege, benefit, precedence  or  consideration  granted   pursuant  to  the issuance of such permit, shall be sufficient cause for   revocation of said permit.     2. The special vehicle identification parking  permit  issued  by  the   commissioner  shall  be  recognized  statewide  and, except for a permit   issued pursuant to and used subject to the  limitations  of  subdivision   three  of  this  section  is  the  only  valid permit for the purpose of   preserving parking spaces for the handicapped.     3. Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter to the contrary,  any   municipality  may  issue  a  temporary  special  vehicle  identification   parking permit to any person  who  is  temporarily  unable  to  ambulate   without  the  aid  of  an assisting device, as certified by a physician.   Such temporary special vehicle identification parking  permit  shall  be   valid for not more than six months and shall be recognized statewide.     4.  A  person  who  knowingly  and wilfully with the intent to deceive   makes a false statement or gives information which such individual knows   to be false to  a  public  official  to  obtain  a  parking  permit  for   handicapped  persons  in  addition  to any other penalty provided by law   shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than two  hundred  fifty   dollars nor more than one thousand dollars.

Parking  spaces  for the   handicapped as provided for in sections one thousand two hundred three-a   and one thousand two hundred three-c  of  this  chapter  shall  also  be   extended  to  a motor vehicle registered in accordance with section four   hundred  four-a  of  this  chapter.  A  handicapped  permit  issued   in   accordance  with  the  provisions  of  section  one thousand two hundred   three-a of this chapter shall entitle the driver to park in such parking   spaces. Parking spaces for the handicapped shall be those parking spaces   accorded to a  holder  of  a  handicapped  parking  permit  provided  in   accordance  with section one thousand two hundred three-a or as provided   in section four hundred four-a of this chapter.     2. It shall be a violation for any person to stop,  stand  or  park  a   vehicle in any area designated as a place for handicapped parking unless   the vehicle bears a permit issued under section one thousand two hundred   three-a  or  a  registration issued under section four hundred four-a of   this chapter and such vehicle is being used for the transportation of  a   severely  disabled  or  handicapped  person.  This subdivision shall not   apply to a violation of section twelve hundred three-c of this chapter.  S 1203-c.          Off  street  parking  spaces  for  the  handicapped.          1. Any   person, firm or corporation owning a shopping center or facility with at   least five separate retail stores and at least twenty off street parking   spaces which are provided for use by the shopping public must  designate   as  only for the handicapped and clearly mark for use by the handicapped   a minimum of five percent of such parking  spaces  or  ten  such  spaces   whichever  is  less. These spaces must be located as close as reasonably   practicable to the shopping center facility and  reasonably  distributed   so  as to provide convenient access for use by handicapped drivers. Such   parking spaces are to be used either by handicapped drivers displaying a   special municipal parking permit (as defined in section  twelve  hundred   three-a  of  this  chapter  and distributed by the commissioner of motor   vehicles to local governing bodies to be issued to  handicapped  persons   who  reside  in  such  locality)  or  by  motor  vehicles  registered in   accordance with section four hundred four-a of this  chapter  and  being   used for the transportation of a handicapped person.     2.  (a)  The  parking  spaces designated pursuant to the provisions of   this section shall be clearly identified for use by handicapped  persons   which  designation  shall  include conspicuous and permanently installed   above grade signs which display the international symbol of  access  and   which  shall be positioned from the parking space surface at a height of   not less than five feet nor more than seven feet and may include the use   of blue painted lines or markings.  Such  parking  spaces  also  may  be   marked as tow-away zones.

A  violation  of  this  section by any person, firm or corporation   owning a shopping center or facility with at least five separate  retail   stores  and at least twenty off street parking spaces which are provided   for use by the shopping public who fails to provide spaces only for  the   handicapped  and clearly marked for use by the handicapped in accordance   with this section, shall be punishable by a fine up to two hundred fifty   dollars.     4. Except as otherwise provided by local law which  imposes  a  larger   maximum  fine,  any  person who stops, stands or parks in spaces clearly   marked for use by the  handicapped  in  accordance  with  this  section,   without  a  special  vehicle  identification  parking  permit, a special   municipal parking permit or whose motor vehicle  is  not  registered  in   accordance  with  section  four hundred four-a of this chapter and being   used for the transportation of a handicapped person; or with such permit   or registration and such person is not the one to  whom  the  permit  or   registration  was  issued  or  is not transporting the person issued the   permit or registration; or any person who parks in a handicapped parking   access aisle; shall be subject to a fine of not less than fifty  dollars   nor   more   than   seventy-five  dollars  for  the  first  offense  and   seventy-five to  one  hundred  fifty  dollars  for  the  second  offense   occurring within a period of two years within the same municipality. The   arresting  or  ticketing  officer  shall issue a summons to violators of   this section. A ticketing officer issuing a  summons  pursuant  to  this   section  may  provide  for  the  removal  and storage of a motor vehicle   illegally parked in  a  handicapped  parking  space,  or  a  handicapped   parking access aisle.     5.  As used in this section, the term "handicapped" shall also include   a "severely disabled person" as defined in section four  hundred  four-a   of this chapter.     6.  Notwithstanding  any  other  state or local law to the contrary, a   state, county or municipal law enforcement officer  seeking  to  enforce   subdivision  four of this section, may enter onto the parking lot of any   shopping center or facility as described  in  subdivision  one  of  this   section  or  any  other  parking  lot  as  described  in  the state fire   prevention and building code, which is required  to  contain  accessible   and  designated  parking spaces for people with disabilities, regardless   of the existence or absence of any state or local law or rule  otherwise   permitting or restricting such access for such law enforcement officer.  S 1203-d.          Out-of-state  vehicles bearing special identification.          Motor   vehicles displaying a special license plate or parking permit issued  by   any  other  state,  district,  territory  or  other  governmental entity   subject to the laws of the United States, or a foreign country  for  the   purpose   of   granting   special  parking  privileges  to  people  with   disabilities shall be accorded the special  parking  privileges  allowed   pursuant to the provisions of sections twelve hundred three-b and twelve   hundred three-c of this article.  S 1203-e.          Dumping snow onto parking places for handicapped prohibited.          Any  person who knowingly dumps or shovels snow onto a parking place for   handicapped persons rendering such place unusable for  parking  purposes   shall  be subject to a fine of twenty-five dollars for the first offense   and a  fine  not  to  exceed  one  hundred  dollars  for  every  offense   thereafter.  However,  a local or municipal government may, by local law   or ordinance, establish fines higher  than  those  established  in  this   section, but in no instance shall the fines exceed fifty dollars for the   first  offense  or  two  hundred  dollars  for  the second or subsequent   offense.  S  1203-f.          Handicapped parking enforcement.          1.  A county, city, town   or village may, by adoption of a local law  or  ordinance,  establish  a   handicapped  parking  violation  unit  to  assist  in the enforcement of   handicapped parking laws or ordinances.  Persons appointed to such  unit   shall  be  volunteers,  shall  serve  without compensation, and shall be   authorized to provide evidence of violations of handicapped parking laws   or ordinances to  the  appropriate  local  enforcement  authority.  Such   evidence  may  include  photographing  a  violation,  provided that such   photograph is taken and handled in compliance with the  requirements  of   this section.     2.  A local law or ordinance enacted in accordance with the provisions   of this section shall:     (a)  establish  a training program of no less than two hours in length   and require each volunteer to participate in and complete such  training   program;     (b)  provide  for  the  assignment of an identification number to each   volunteer, and provide official identification and equipment  to  assist   volunteer personnel in the conduct of their duties;     (c)   establish   uniform  procedures  for  volunteers  to  follow  in   determining whether a violation has occurred;     (d) establish procedures for  the  uniform  reporting  of  violations,   which reporting shall include the identification number of the volunteer   making the report;     (e)  if  such  local  law  or  ordinance  provides  for  the taking of   photographs of violations, (i) grant only  the  enforcement  agency  the   authority  to  process  or  to  contract  for the processing of all film   submitted by volunteers;  (ii)  require  any  photographs  evidencing  a   violation to be available for inspection in any proceeding to adjudicate   the  liability  for  such  violation;  (iii) provide that a certificate,   sworn to or affirmed by a technician employed by the locality  in  which   the  charged  violation  occurred,  or  a  facsimile thereof, based upon   inspection of photographs produced from film  submitted  by  volunteers,   shall  be  prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein; and (iv)   prohibit the use of such a photograph for  any  purpose  other  than  as   evidence of a handicapped parking violation; and     (f) provide the following with respect to notices of violation:  (i) a   notice  of  violation  shall  be sent by first class mail to each person   alleged to be liable as an  owner  for  a  violation  of  a  handicapped   parking  law  or  ordinance.    A  manual or automatic record of mailing   prepared in the  ordinary  course  of  business  shall  be  prima  facie   evidence  of  the  facts  contained  therein; (ii) a notice of violation   shall reference the law which was allegedly violated, and shall  contain   the  name and address of the person alleged to be liable as an owner for   a violation of a handicapped parking law or ordinance, the  registration   number  of  the  vehicle  involved in such violation, the location where   such violation took place, the date and time of such violation, and  the   identification number of the volunteer who recorded the violation; (iii)   a  notice  of  violation  shall  contain information advising the person   charged of the manner and the time in which he or she  may  contest  the   violation  alleged  in  the  notice, and shall also contain a warning to   advise the persons charged that failure to contest  in  the  manner  and   time  provided  shall  be  deemed  an  admission of liability and that a   default judgment may be entered thereon.

Every county and the city of New  York  shall  establish  a  separate   handicapped  parking  education program. Each program shall be organized   by a coordinator for handicapped parking  education  and  advocacy,  who   shall  be  designated  by  the chief executive officer of the county, if   there be one, otherwise by the chair  of  the  governing  board  of  the   county,  and  in  the city of New York, a person designated by the mayor   thereof.     2. The handicapped parking education program shall be established  for   the purposes of providing education, advocacy and increased awareness of   handicapped   parking  laws.  The  program  shall  provide  funding  for   activities such as public service announcements,  public  education  and   awareness   campaigns,   distribution   of  literature,  and  any  other   activities that are consistent with such purposes.     3. It shall be the duty of the coordinator to: (a) render annually  or   at  the request of the county legislature or other governing body of the   county, a verified account of all moneys received and  expended  by  the   coordinator or under the coordinator's direction and an account of other   pertinent  matters;  and (b) make a biennial report to the commissioner,   which shall be due on the first day of April every second year following   implementation of the program and shall include  an  assessment  of  the   effectiveness   of   the  program,  recommendations  for  expanding  and   improving the program and any problems or other matters related  to  the   administration  of the program. Such report shall also be made available   to the temporary  president  of  the  senate  and  the  speaker  of  the   assembly.     4.  Every  county  and  the  city  of  New  York  that  establishes  a   handicapped  parking  education  program  shall  establish  a   separate   handicapped  parking  education  fund in the custody of the chief fiscal   officer of each such county or city, by April first, two thousand, which   shall consist of moneys granted to  such  county  or  city  pursuant  to   section  eighteen  hundred  nine-b  of this chapter. No provision of law   shall be deemed to preclude a county  or  the  city  of  New  York  from   receiving  funds  from  other sources to be deposited in the handicapped   parking education fund, provided such funds are used in a manner and for   purposes consistent with this section. The moneys of such fund shall  be   disbursed  to  provide  education,  advocacy  and increased awareness of   handicapped parking laws and may  be  used  to  execute  contracts  with   private organizations for such purposes. Such contracts shall be awarded   upon competitive bids after the issuance of requests for proposal.   S  1203-h.          Metered  parking  waiver  for certain disabilities. 1. The   commissioner shall distribute metered  parking  waiver  permits  to  the   governing  bodies  of all cities, villages and towns; provided, however,   that the commissioner shall not distribute such permits to cities having   a population  of  one  million  or  more  which  issue  special  vehicle   identification   parking   permits  pursuant  to  paragraph  fifteen  of   subdivision a of section twenty-nine hundred three of the New York  city   charter which waive the payment of metered parking fees. Notwithstanding   any  local  law or ordinance to the contrary, such permits shall entitle   any vehicle displaying such waiver permit to park at any metered parking   space in any city, village or town of the state and such  permits  shall   waive  metered  parking fees imposed by such city or village pursuant to   paragraph nine of subdivision (a) of section sixteen  hundred  forty  of   this  chapter  or  imposed  by  such  town pursuant to paragraph nine of   subdivision (a) of  section  sixteen  hundred  sixty  of  this  chapter.   Provided,  however, that such permit shall not waive any time limit at a   metered parking space imposed pursuant to paragraph nine of  subdivision   (a)  of  section sixteen hundred forty of this chapter or paragraph nine   of subdivision (a) of section sixteen hundred sixty of this chapter that   is applicable to a motor vehicle parking in such metered  parking  space   without such permit.     2.  The application, permit design, period of validity, and procedures   for reissuance of such waiver permits shall  be  as  determined  by  the   commissioner.     3.  Such  waiver  permits  shall be issued by issuing agents appointed   pursuant to subdivision one of section twelve hundred  three-a  of  this   article  by  governing  bodies  of  cities,  villages and towns having a   population of less than one million to persons with disabilities who:     (a) are residents of New York state; and     (b) are residents of the city, town or village in which  such  issuing   agent  is  located,  except  that,  an  issuing  agent,  in  his  or her   discretion, may issue a permit to a severely disabled person who is  not   a  resident of the city, town, or village in which such issuing agent is   located where such person resides in a city, town, or village  in  which   the governing body has not appointed an issuing agent; and     (c) hold a valid driver's license issued by New York state; and     (d)  are  severely disabled persons, as defined in subdivision four of   section four hundred four-a of this chapter, whose severe disability, as   certified by a licensed physician, limits one or more of the following:     (i) fine motor control in both hands;     (ii) ability to reach or access a  parking  meter  due  to  use  of  a   wheelchair or other ambulatory device; or     (iii)  ability  to  reach a height of forty-two inches from the ground   due to the lack of finger, hand or upper extremity strength or mobility.     4.
