AN ACT relative to eligibility for walking disability plates.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

1 Walking Disability Plates; Proof of Disability. Amend RSA 261:88, III to read as follows:

III. An applicant for such special plates shall furnish the director with satisfactory proof, as the director may require, that the applicant meets the requirements of paragraph II. Such proof must be submitted every 5 years except in the case of a person 70 years old or older or a veteran who has been evaluated by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to be permanently and totally disabled from service-connected disability. [Such] Proof submitted by a veteran with a service-connected disability shall only have to be made upon initial application. Satisfactory proof of a walking disability, at a minimum, shall consist of the certification of a licensed physician, podiatrist, or advanced practice registered nurse that the applicant has a walking disability, as defined in paragraph I. Upon request and for the fee set forth in RSA 261:75, I, the director shall exchange special plates for regular plates currently issued to an applicant who qualifies for special plates.

2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
