This bill updates who can certify that someone qualifies for disability license plates and parking permits by allowing physician assistants, chiropractors, physical therapists, and certified nurse practitioners to sign the required medical certificates, not just physicians. The bill also clarifies the language used to describe eligibility, specifying that applicants must have a "substantial physical disability that makes it impossible or causes substantial hardship to walk." These changes make it easier for people with disabilities to obtain the necessary documentation for special plates and permits.
