This bill amends RSA 261:88 to streamline the process for certain veterans to obtain a walking disability placard. Specifically, it introduces a new provision, marked as III-a, which states that any individual who has received a special number plate for veterans under RSA 261:86 will automatically qualify for a walking disability placard based on their evaluation by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. This change eliminates the requirement for these veterans to provide additional proof of their disability. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approved date of July 15, 2025, and an effective date of September 13, 2025. The intent of this legislation is to simplify access to disability placards for veterans, recognizing their service and the evaluations already conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
