What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes physical therapists to certify to the Department of

Transportation information necessary for a person to acquire a disabled parking

plate or card.

Under current law, a person with a disability that limits or impairs the ability

to walk may apply for and obtain from DOT special motor vehicle registration plates

or a special identification card entitling a motor vehicle used by the person to certain

parking privileges, including parking in spaces reserved for such vehicles. An

application for the special plate or card must contain required information from a

licensed physician, advanced practice nurse, public health nurse, physician

assistant, podiatrist, chiropractor, Christian Science practitioner, or the U.S.

Department of Veterans Affairs.
