Dear Mr. Elstro and Members of Common Council
FRANK H. WALTERMANN
MAYOR
KENNETH E. BARDEN
CITY ATTORNEY
The Indiana General Assembly and Public Law PL 37-1984
amended Indiana Code I.C. 5-16-9-1 et se to establish a procedure
for the Indiana Rehabilitative Services Agency to issue placards
to individuals whom the agency certifies as handicapped according
to standards outlinedin the act. These placards will suffice as
well as handicapped registration plates as proper identification
of vehicles and how to use handicapped parking spaces. This new
Ordinance NO. 117 —1984 reflects the change in the state
law. While the handicapped parking ordinance was amended in early
April 1984, notice of the change in the Indiana Statute was not
received until after that time. The change in the Indiana Statute
does not become effective until September 1, 1984. For those of
you who have questions about what the states penalties were for
violation of the handicapped parking under State Statute
violation it states that it is a Class C infraction which is
punishable by a fine and judgment of up to $500.00. As you can
readily see, the city ordinance is much less costly than a
violation under the state statute would be.
Respectfully submitted,
Kenneth E. Barden
