New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 39:4-207.10) permits exemption from payment of municipal parking meter fees, for up to 24 hours, for disabled veterans and Purple Heart recipients under certain, specific circumstances:
.The parked vehicle is owned by the disabled veteran or the Purple Heart recipient.
.The disabled veteran or Purple Heart recipient is the driver or a passenger in that vehicle.
.The vehicle displays a unique placard issued by the MVC.
A disabled veteran or Purple Heart recipient placard affords the vehicle owner the same privileges as the license plates.
An applicant for a placard must be the owner of the vehicle in which the placard is to be used, and the placard can only be used by the owner if that owner is
the driver of the vehicle or a passenger in it.
