AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah's disabled parking law would be expanded to create a new "expectant mother parking placard," allowing pregnant Utahns to apply for a temporary windshield placard that lets them park in accessible parking spaces alongside vehicles carrying people with disabilities. To get the placard, an applicant would need a physician's certification confirming the pregnancy, a completed application, and a $15 fee, and the placard would be valid for up to one year. The bill also updates related legal definitions and cross-references throughout the disabled parking statutes to include expectant mothers alongside individuals with disabilities, and it keeps the existing rule that improperly parking in an accessible space without a qualifying placard, plate, or passenger is a class C misdemeanor. It also updates the law allowing trained volunteers to issue citations for accessible-parking violations so that authority continues to apply correctly under the renumbered sections.
