Bill Summary

This bill allows health care providers licensed in another state and affiliated with the VA to certify medical accommodations for motor vehicle equipment.

AI Summary

This bill modifies New Hampshire's motor vehicle regulations to expand the types of medical providers who can certify window tinting waivers for individuals with medical needs. Currently, the law allows the commissioner of motor vehicles to issue special permits for after-market window tinting that allows at least 35 percent light transmittance when a person has legitimate medical reasons. The bill now explicitly allows medical providers affiliated with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide medical certifications for these waivers, regardless of the state in which they are licensed. This change makes it easier for veterans to obtain window tinting waivers by broadening the pool of medical professionals who can provide documentation, potentially reducing bureaucratic barriers for veterans seeking medical accommodations for their vehicles. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving time for the motor vehicle department to implement the new provision.
