License plates for disabled individuals; revise provisions relating to eligibility for.
HB 22 expands eligibility for Mississippi's special disability license plates to include residents with vision 20/200 or worse in one eye (with correction), adding this condition to the existing definition of disabilities that limit walking ability. This change directly affects Mississippi residents with qualifying vision impairments who previously did not meet the walking-based criteria for these plates. To qualify, applicants must provide physician certification confirming the vision disability will last at least five years, similar to current requirements for other qualifying disabilities. The bill amends existing law to include this visual impairment under the same renewal and documentation processes for special plates and decals.
