Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 580 amends Transportation Code provisions relating to disabled parking placards. The act changes the form and content of parking placards and changes the evidence required to receive a placard. The act further provides that a vehicle displaying a placard is no longer exempt from parking fines at a municipal airport, and it authorizes the summary seizure and revocation of misused placards. Certain standards that apply to a state building where services are provided to persons with mobility impairments are extended to facilities of the Texas Rehabilitation Commission, and provision is made to bring all buildings that are leased or built by the state into compliance with applicable accessibility standards.
