Yes
Most cars have a solenoid that blocks the lever from moving from park unless the brake lights are on.
If the brake switch is faulty it will not come out of park.

Can the stoplight switch prevent trans from shifting out of park?
If your question is what I think it is than the answer is yes. There is a switch that turns your brake lights on, it is also the same switch that releases the gearshift that will allow you to remove the vehicle from park. You should be able to hear a little click when you depress the brake pedel. If you don't hear that click and your brake lights are not coming on and you cant get it out of park than I would definitely take a look at that switch, It is usually located right on the pedel mechanism itself.

APPLY BRAKES AND SEE IF BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. IF NO BRAKE LIGHTS, REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH LOCATED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ARM AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. IF THAT BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS BROKE, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET IT OUT OF PARK

You might have a bad brake light switch. If you don't have brake lights the switch is bad. When your brake light switch isn't working it wont send a signal to the shift solenoid.
