Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning motor vehicles; relating to registration; providing for the issuance of a special license plate or permanent or temporary placard for a person with a disability based on documentation of satisfactory proof of disability from a physical therapist; amending K.S.A. 8-1,125 and repealing the existing section.
AI Summary
This bill expands the types of medical professionals who can certify a person's disability for the purpose of obtaining special license plates or placards for vehicles, specifically allowing a physical therapist to provide this documentation. Currently, proof of disability for these special accommodations, which include special license plates, permanent placards, or temporary placards used to indicate a disability for parking purposes, must come from a licensed physician, optometrist, advanced practice registered nurse, physician assistant, or Christian Science practitioner. The bill amends existing law (K.S.A. 8-1,125) to include physical therapists, as defined in K.S.A. 65-2901, in this list of acceptable certifiers, making it easier for individuals with disabilities to access these benefits. The bill also makes minor technical changes to the wording of the existing law and repeals the old version of K.S.A. 8-1,125, replacing it with the updated provisions.
