Chapter 316 and the Florida Building Code as amended by Broward County.

Parking in such parking access aisles is subject to the same penalties that are imposed for illegally parking in parking spaces that are designated for persons who have disabilities.
(1) It is unlawful for any person to stop, stand, or park a vehicle within any parking space designated or marked for the disabled, unless the vehicle displays a disabled parking permit issued under F.S. § 316.1958 or 320.0848, and the vehicle is transporting the person to whom the displayed permit is issued.
(2) A vehicle that is transporting a person who has a disability and who has been granted a permit under F.S. § 320.0848(1)(d) may be parked for a maximum of 30 minutes in any parking space reserved for persons who have disabilities.

If such a request is refused, the person in charge of the vehicle may be issued a citation for a violation of this section.
(D) The violation may not be dismissed for failure of the markings on the parking space to comply with the requirements of F.S. § 316.1955, if the space is in general compliance and is clearly distinguishable as a designated space.
