Lawmakers may add handicapped parking renewal clause

If you've ever parked illegally in a handicapped spot, you're not alone. Lawmakers consider it a big enough problem to focus on the abuse of the system. There are more than 400,000 handicapped stickers out now across the state of Iowa, and they don't have expiration dates, license numbers, or names. The stickers can easily be passed on. Lawmakers are moving forward with a measure that would require holders of disability permits to renew them every five years Parking in a handicapped space now when the driver or passenger is not disabled, is punishable by a $200 fine, and with court costs the price can be $465.
