No, that is not a code.

It is a brochure/handbook/pamphlet - not a California code.

Again......................

*GENERAL INFORMATION*
*DISCLAIMER*

Fees mentioned in this handbook
are subject to legislative change.

This handbook is only a summary
of the laws and regulations. The
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV),
law enforcement, and courts follow
the full and exact language of the
California Vehicle Code. You may
buy a copy of the Vehicle Code at
any DMV office or view it online
at www.dmv.ca.gov.

Thus the law in California is:

22511.5
(b) A disabled person or disabled veteran is allowed to park a
vehicle displaying a special disabled person license plate or placard
issued by a foreign jurisdiction with the same parking privileges
authorized in this code for any vehicle displaying a special license
plate or a distinguishing placard issued by the Department of Motor
Vehicles.

.......and not some fancy pamphlet/booklet/handout.

Citations are written to include the CVC section violated,
not a quote from one of those fancy, multi-colored
pamphlets/booklets/handouts that have NO code sections.
