Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would reclassify parking in spots reserved for people with disabilities from a serious offense to a very serious one. To do this, it adds that conduct as a new letter y) to the list of very serious offenses in the Road Traffic Law.
  2. With the new very serious classification, the fine would be 500 euros, which could drop to 250 euros for early payment. Currently the fine is 200 euros, usually reduced to 100 euros for early payment.
  3. The goal is for the penalty to truly deter, since the current one does not. Individuals and disability organizations have asked for it to be toughened.
  4. If approved, the law would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette.

Who it affects

  • People with disabilities and reduced mobility: They would benefit from reserved spots staying more available.
  • Drivers who park without authorization in reserved spots: They would face a 500 euro fine, or 250 euros for early payment.
  • City councils and local police: They would have a tougher penalty to cite these offenses.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We never say “passed” because of a vote: the files do not say which majority was needed.
