   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The opening paragraph of subdivision 1 of section 1203-a of
 the  vehicle  and  traffic law, as amended by chapter 298 of the laws of
 2007, is amended to read as follows:
   The commissioner shall distribute special vehicle identification park-
 ing permits to the governing bodies of all cities, towns and villages in
 the state.  Notwithstanding any local law or ordinance to the  contrary,
 such permits shall entitle any vehicle displaying such permit to park in
 any area in any city, town or village of the state which has been desig-
 nated  by  such  city,  town or village or pursuant to the provisions of
 section twelve hundred three-c of this article as a  place  for  parking
 for  persons  with  disabilities.  The  design,  period of validity, and
 procedures for reissuance of such permits shall be as determined by  the
 commissioner.  THE COMMISSIONER SHALL MAKE SUCH PERMITS AVAILABLE IN THE
 FORM  OF  BOTH  PLACARDS AND WINDOW STICKERS AND MAY PRESCRIBE RULES FOR
 THE DISPLAY AND PLACEMENT OF SUCH PLACARDS AND WINDOW STICKERS. A  city,
 town  or village issuing a permit pursuant to this subdivision or subdi-
 vision three of this section shall indelibly inscribe or otherwise mark,
 on the face of such permit, the last three digits of the  identification
 number  of the driver's license or non-driver identification card of the
 person to whom the permit is issued. The  governing  bodies  of  cities,
 towns  and villages in the state shall appoint an issuing agent to issue
 such permits. Any person issued a permit pursuant to  this  section  who
 holds  a  driver's  license or non-driver identification card shall make
 the last three digits of such license or identification  card  available
