HB 101 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Motor vehicles, distinctive license plates, issuance of "Invisible Disability" plates, authorized

HB 101 creates a new "Invisible Disability" license plate for Alabama residents diagnosed with specific medical conditions (like autism, PTSD, diabetes, or visual impairments) or their primary caregivers. To qualify, applicants must provide physician documentation, pay regular registration fees plus a $40 annual fee, and meet standard licensing requirements. Proceeds from the $40 fee (minus costs) will fund Kulturecity, Incorporated’s sensory accessibility programs for people with invisible disabilities. The plate is valid for five years and replaces standard or personalized plates. This policy directly affects Alabamians with qualifying conditions and their caregivers, providing a visible identifier while directing funds toward accessibility initiatives.
