Seniors & Caregivers Invited to Participate in Disabled Parking Program at Adventist Bolingbrook Hosptial
Officials from Secretary of State Jesse White's office and state Sen. Pat McGuire will join state Rep. Emily McAsey for the discussion on Dec. 6.
State Rep. Emily McAsey is encouraging seniors who participate in the Disabled Parking Program and their caregivers to attend a discussion on changes to the program that will take effect in January. The meeting is being held on Friday, Dec. 6 at 10 a.m. at the Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital in the Experience University Room located at 500 Remington Blvd. in Bolingbrook.
“For many years, people have abused the disability parking program to take advantage of free parking designed to help those who truly need it,” McAsey said. “A new law takes effect in January to crack down on these drivers who take advantage of the disabled in Illinois. I encourage residents who want to learn how these changes might affect them to attend this meeting.”
Senate Bill 1929 amends requirements for the issuance of parking decals for disabled persons, limiting free parking at meters and parking structures to permanently disabled persons at meters and other parking areas only. The law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2014.
In addition to individuals using the Disabled Parking Program, law enforcement, physicians, elected officials, business owners, community service providers and others who serve the disabled are encouraged to attend this meeting as well. Officials from Secretary of State Jesse White’s office and state Sen. Pat McGuire will join McAsey for the discussion.
