The bill amends the law regarding parking privileges for vehicles displaying a disabled veteran special license plate in Arkansas. It specifies that to qualify for parking in designated areas for persons with disabilities, a vehicle must not only display a disabled veteran special license plate issued by the Department of Finance and Administration but also must be in use for the actual transportation of a disabled veteran. Additionally, the vehicle must display a special certificate or temporary special certificate issued by the Office of Motor Vehicle.

Furthermore, the bill allows vehicles with a valid disabled veteran license plate issued by another state to have parking privileges, provided they are being used for the actual transportation of a disabled veteran. This change broadens the scope of parking privileges for disabled veterans, ensuring that they can access necessary parking regardless of the state in which their license plate was issued, as long as the vehicle is being used appropriately.
