Permits qualified person with post-traumatic stress disorder to obtain handicapped parking placard.

This bill amends New Jersey's handicapped parking law to allow individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to qualify for a handicapped parking placard. To apply, a person must receive certification of their PTSD diagnosis from a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist in New Jersey, a neighboring state, or stationed at a military base in New Jersey. Previously, the law only covered physical disabilities like mobility limitations certified by a medical doctor. This change expands eligibility for the placard to include PTSD as a qualifying condition, aligning with existing certification requirements for mental health diagnoses.
