Any nonprofit organization, licensed hospital, retirement home, or educational institution which has under its care or responsibility persons with physical disabilities, which transports persons with physical disabilities, and which has complied with all laws of this state in obtaining title, license plates, and registration for its motor vehicles may apply for a portable serially numbered certificate which permits the operator of a vehicle transporting the person with a disability to park pursuant to § 32-30-11.1. However, the vehicle may only park for the time reasonably necessary to load or unload passengers in any space reserved for person with a disability. In addition, any local government entity that owns a vehicle used to transport persons with disabilities may apply for the portable certificate. The application shall be made on a form approved by the secretary. If the department determines that the applicant transports persons with disabilities, the secretary shall issue and deliver a portable certificate to the applicant. The secretary may promulgate rules pursuant to chapter 1-26 regarding the application for, term of, and conditions under which the certificate may be issued. If the applicant no longer transports persons with physical disabilities, the applicant shall surrender the certificate to the department within thirty days. Failure to surrender the portable certificate as required by this section is a Class 2 misdemeanor. It is a Class 1 misdemeanor to submit a false or fraudulent application or to alter the portable certificate.
