        AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation  to  creating  designated

     1    Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section  201-b
     2  to read as follows:
     3    §  201-b.  Designated  parking  for purple heart recipients.  1. Where
     4  parking for a state agency occurs on properties under  the  jurisdiction
     5  of  the  office  of  general services, and in any parking facility owned
     6  and/or operated by the state of New York, such office shall provide  for
     7  designated  parking  spaces  for  persons who are recipients of a purple
     8  heart award in accordance with the provisions of this section.
     9    2. Such parking spaces must be located as close as reasonably  practi-
    10  cable  to  the state agency or facility and reasonably distributed so as
    11  to provide convenient access to such facility. Such parking  spaces  are
    12  to  be  used  only  by  persons  who have been awarded a purple heart as
    13  evidenced by a special permit to be distributed by the  commissioner  of
    14  motor vehicles.
    15    3.  The  parking  spaces designated pursuant to the provisions of this
    16  section shall be clearly identified for use by purple  heart  recipients
    17  which  designation  shall  include conspicuous and permanently installed
    18  above grade signs at a height of not less than five feet nor  more  than
    19  seven  feet  and may include the use of specially painted lines or mark-
    20  ings.  Such parking spaces also may be marked as tow-away zones.
    21    4. Each facility shall have up to two designated parking spaces  under
    22  this  section  which  shall conform to the dimensions established by the
    23  provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
    24    § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day  after  it  shall
    25  have become a law.
