66-7-352.2. Legislative intent.

The policy and intent of this legislature is declared to be as follows:   

A.     that this legislature finds there is a significant safety hazard for mobility-impaired persons crossing through parking lots and that this hazard is greatly reduced when parking is provided adjacent to a building entrance;   

B.     that many commercial and governmental establishments now provide reserved parking for disabled persons, ensuring full and equal opportunity for the disabled to maintain independence and self-respect; and   

C.     that ultimately society will benefit from the increased interaction of the disabled with the mainstream that these parking spaces will provide.
