Bill Summary
This bill would permit a person diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to obtain a handicapped parking placard. To qualify for the handicapped parking placard, a psychiatrist or psychologist licensed in this State or a bordering state, or a psychiatrist or psychologist stationed at a military or naval installation located in New Jersey who is licensed to practice in any state, would certify the person's diagnosis of PTSD.
AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of a "person with a disability" eligible for a handicapped parking placard to include individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To qualify, a person must have their PTSD diagnosis certified by a psychiatrist or psychologist licensed in New Jersey or a bordering state, or by a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist stationed at a military or naval installation in New Jersey. This change allows individuals whose mobility is significantly impacted by PTSD to obtain the necessary parking accommodations, with the certification process now explicitly including psychiatrists and psychologists alongside other medical professionals.
