WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                    Ch. 381

(a)  A person who has a permanent physical disability may
apply to the Administration, on the form that it requires, for a
permit for one reserved parking space:

(1)  To be located at the curb, side, or edge of the
roadway of the highway in front of or near [his] THE APPLICANT'S
dwelling house; and

(2)  To provide convenience and safety as the person
enters or leaves [his] A vehicle [or that of another].

(b)  (1) The Administration shall issue the permit:

(i) If the applicant is required to use a
wheelchair to move about or if the Administration determines that
the disability is so severe that the applicant would endure a
hardship or be subject to a risk of injury if the applicant
should enter or leave the vehicle at a less convenient location;
and

(ii) If the Administration determines that the
physical disability is permanent.

(2)  To determine if eligibility requirements continue
to be met, the Administration may conduct a review of any permit
it has issued under this subsection. If it determines that
eligibility requirements are not being met, the Administration
may:

(i) Revoke the permit; and

(ii) Request the appropriate agency to remove
any sign or other identification of the reserved space.

(3)   If the Administration finds it necessary to
review the severity or permanency of a permit holder's
disability, the Administration may request review and
recommendation by the Medical Advisory Board established under §
16-118 of this article.

(C) (1) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS
SUBSECTION, ANY PARKING SPACE RESERVED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL
BE ADJACENT TO THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY LINES AND MAY NOT EXTEND
TO THE ROADWAY ADJACENT TO NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.

(2) IF THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY LINES ARE TOO NARROW
TO ACCOMMODATE AND CONTAIN THE ENTIRE SPACE NECESSARY TO PARK THE
APPLICANT'S VEHICLE, OR IF IT IS NECESSARY TO RESERVE 2 OR MORE
ABUTTING PARKING SPACES UNDER THIS SECTION, THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE
PORTION OF THE NECESSARY SPACE SHALL BE ADJACENT TO THE
APPLICANT'S PROPERTY LINES.
