Allow Nurse Practitioners to Certify Disability for Parking Placards

This bill would change Michigan law to permit certified nurse practitioners, and in some cases occupational therapists, to certify that an individual has a qualifying disability for the purpose of obtaining a disability parking placard, license plate, tab, or free parking sticker. The bill adds these professionals to the list of those authorized to verify physical conditions such as inability to walk, use of assistive devices, severe lung or heart conditions, and other qualifying disabilities. Programs and penalties for misuse or fraud related to these parking privileges would remain in place.
