(a) The county government of each of the 3 Delaware counties and the municipal government of each incorporated municipality within this State shall adopt regulations or ordinances regarding the duty of individuals and artificial entities to construct and maintain accessible parking spaces consistent with § 4183A of Title 21.

(b) The county government of each of the 3 Delaware counties and the municipal government of each incorporated municipality within this State shall adopt regulations or ordinances requiring that no new accessible parking space be constructed and no existing accessible parking space be installed, restriped, repainted, resurfaced, or otherwise altered until the county government or municipality issues a permit as required by § 4183A of Title 21. Upon completion, the entity issuing the permit shall confirm compliance as set forth in § 4183A(d) of Title 21.

(c) The regulations or ordinances adopted pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this section must include an enforcement provision, a penalty provision, and a provision which requires an enforcement officer to first issue a written warning to an individual or artificial entity who is required to obtain a permit and to construct and maintain accessible parking spaces, but has failed to do so, consistent with the obligations under § 4183A of Title 21.

(d) To comply with this section, a municipality may elect to adopt the signage regulations or ordinances of the county government of the county in which the municipality is located. A municipality which elects to do so may also adopt additional regulations or ordinances as required by its own particular conditions. Whether a municipality adopts its own signage regulations or ordinances, or adopts the regulations or ordinances of the county along with additional regulations or ordinances to meet particular conditions, the municipality's adopted regulations or ordinances may not be less restrictive than those of the county.
