relative to adding eligibility for a disability placard for certain veterans.
SB 12 expands eligibility for state disability placards to include veterans with service-connected disabilities who previously did not qualify under existing criteria. This directly affects veterans with documented service-related disabilities that limit mobility, allowing them to obtain temporary or permanent disability placards. The bill modifies current eligibility rules to explicitly include this veteran group without requiring additional medical documentation beyond their service-connected disability status. The law takes effect September 13, 2025, after being signed by the governor on July 15, 2025.
