Are Purple Heart recipients allowed to park in handicap spaces?
Utah State Veteran’s Benefits Disabled Parking Privileges — Disabled persons (including disabled veterans) may park an appropriately marked vehicle for reasonable periods without charge in metered parking zones or in restricted parking areas (spaces clearly identified by the international symbol of accessibility as reserved for disabled persons.) Only vehicles appropriately marked with disability special group license plates or disability windshield placards hung from the front windshield rearview mirror attachment may legally park in accessible (disabled) parking spaces.
Not all Purple Heart recipients are disabled. Some had minor injuries like a scrach. If it bled, they were entitled to a Purple Heart. To park in Handicap Spaces requires a form be complete by the disabled person and a doctor. Then the form goes to the DMV in that state, so a permit can be issued.
