•
DATE: May 28, 1985 Re : Comm. 174
TIME: 10:30 a. m.
PLACE: Councilroom
- Chairman and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Public Works to which was referred
Communication 174 and Bill 53 relating to parking privileges for
handicapped persons, reports as follows:
The purpose of Bill 53 is to effect revisions to the County Code
which would allow the establishment of statewide parking standards
for persons with mobility limitations. In 1984, the State,
recognizing that parking for the disabled was .uncoordinated and that
multiple and often conflicting eligibility requirements and permits
existed in the State and its counties, enacted Act 46-84 to provide
for these uniform parking privileges for disabled persons . Included
in Bill 53 are refinements to the definition of a disabled person,
provisions against abuse of privileges , and an expansion of the
penalty provisions affecting the disabled permittee.
Your Committee is in agreement with the purpose and intent of
Bill 53 and recommends its adoption by the Council of the County of
Hawaii .
