A. (1) The Port of New Orleans shall provide free cruise terminal parking, subject to availability, at a Port of New Orleans-owned cruise terminal parking facility which shall be located in the closest available cruise terminal parking lot, for a Louisiana disabled veteran, his conveyance, and his passengers if the disabled veteran provides proof of his service-connected disability of fifty percent or more in the form of a military honor license plate as provided for in R.S. 47:490.4 and 490.31, or a completed certificate from the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs certifying that the disabled veteran has a service-connected disability of fifty percent or more, as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

(2) The Louisiana disabled veteran shall also provide a state-issued driver's license or special identification card for proof of residency.

B. A Louisiana disabled veteran shall park in a designated Port of New Orleans-owned cruise terminal parking lot to receive the parking fee exemption. The parking fee exemption shall not apply if the Louisiana disabled veteran parks outside of a designated Port of New Orleans-owned cruise terminal parking lot.

C. A Louisiana disabled veteran authorized to park for free at the designated Port of New Orleans-owned cruise terminal parking lot pursuant to this Section shall be prohibited from parking for a period exceeding seven days. The Port of New Orleans may charge the Louisiana disabled veteran the customary parking fee for each additional day the disabled veteran is parked at the cruise terminal that exceeds seven days.

D. Notice of the parking fee exemption for Louisiana disabled veterans shall be printed in the Port of New Orleans brochures and displayed on the Port of New Orleans website. The Port of New Orleans may use other methods of informing the public of the fee exemption for disabled veterans to include but not be limited to advertisements and signage.

E. The Port of New Orleans may determine its own procedures for validating parking vouchers or reimbursing a parking fee as provided in this Section.
