Cancer-related disability parking certificates issuance authorization provision
SF 3409 creates a new type of disability parking certificate specifically for cancer patients in Minnesota. It allows individuals diagnosed with cancer who experience mobility issues due to their condition or treatment to qualify for parking permits. To qualify, applicants must submit a medical statement confirming a cancer diagnosis, related mobility impacts (like difficulty moving safely in parking areas), and that these issues will last at least 30 days. The certificate is valid for up to 12 months and grants the same parking privileges as standard disability permits, but only when the vehicle is being used to transport the person with the certificate. This directly affects cancer patients seeking temporary parking accommodations during treatment.
