     By Committee on Transportation

ADOPTED 03/03/2006

     On page 1, after line 3, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1   The legislature reaffirms its recognition that legal blindness does not affect the physical ability to walk, nor does it limit the ability to participate and contribute in employment and all aspects of life as an equal and productive citizen. Furthermore, for a legally blind individual with appropriate training in travel skills, any limitations on that individual's mobility are not resolved by the granting of special parking privileges. However, for some individuals, including the newly blind and those in transition, the availability of special parking privileges could prove to be an appropriate benefit if those individuals choose to avail themselves of the opportunity."

     Renumber the remaining section consecutively and correct the title.

EFFECT:  Adds intent language to the bill.
