When a motor vehicle which is being operated by or for the benefit of the
person with a disability who is in the motor vehicle at the time it is being
operated is displaying an auto registration plate as provided in KRS 186.041 or
186.042 or 186.0425, an out-of-state or out-of-country registration plate for a
person with a disability bearing the international symbol of access, a parking
placard issued by any Veterans Administration hospital, or an accessible
parking placard issued to a person with a disability as prescribed in KRS
189.456 or 189.458 or by another state or foreign country when the accessible
parking placard meets the basic requirements of KRS 189.456 or 189.458, the
vehicle may be parked in a parking place designated as accessible to and for
the use of a person with a disability.
When parked where a parking limit is imposed, the vehicle may be parked for a
period of two (2) hours in excess of the legal parking period permitted by local
authorities, except where local ordinances or police regulations prohibit parking
on a highway for the purpose of creating a fire lane or where the ordinances or
police regulations provide for the accommodation of heavy traffic during
morning, afternoon, or evening hours or where the motor vehicle is parked in
such a manner as to clearly be a traffic hazard. No person shall park in a
parking area designated as accessible to and for the use of a person with a
disability in a motor vehicle not displaying either an auto registration plate as
provided in KRS 186.041, 186.042, 186.0425, or an out-of-state registration
plate designated for the use of a person with a disability on the rear of the
vehicle unless he displays on the dashboard of his motor vehicle an accessible
parking placard issued to a person with a disability. No person shall park a
vehicle displaying an accessible parking placard in a parking area designated
as accessible to and for the use of a person with a disability when the person
with a disability is not in the motor vehicle.
No person shall make, issue, possess, or knowingly use any imitation,
counterfeit, or transferable placard or license plate for a person with a
disability.
