A 2332 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill expands New Jersey's handicapped parking eligibility to include individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), certified by a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist. It directly affects veterans and civilians with PTSD who meet the medical certification requirements. The key provision adds PTSD to the existing definition of "person with a disability" in state law, requiring certification from qualified mental health professionals. This change allows eligible individuals to apply for state-issued handicapped parking placards under the same process used for other qualifying disabilities.
