SSB 6287 -
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.
