Bill Summary

As enacted, authorizes, effective January 1, 2027, temporary placards to be issued to a female who has a pregnancy certified to be high risk by her physician. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 21.

AI Summary

This bill expands the definition of a "disabled driver" in Tennessee to include individuals who are in their second or third trimester of pregnancy, or whose pregnancy has been certified as high-risk by a physician, for the purpose of obtaining a disabled driver placard. This means that pregnant individuals experiencing significant physical challenges due to their pregnancy can now qualify for these placards, which provide parking privileges. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 55, Chapter 21, which governs disabled driver placards, and specifies that these temporary placards for pregnancy will be issued for the estimated duration of the condition, up to six months, and will be distinct in design and color from permanent placards.
