Allows persons diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or Crohn's disease to receive parking privileges reserved for persons with disability.

S 689 expands eligibility for disability parking permits in New Jersey to include individuals diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or Crohn's Disease. The bill amends existing law to add these conditions to the definition of "person with a disability" for parking purposes, requiring certification by a physician, podiatrist, or other approved medical professional. People with these diagnoses would then qualify for the same disability parking placards, license plates, and identification cards currently available to others with certified mobility limitations. The bill is pending in the Senate Transportation Committee after introduction on January 9, 2024.
