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, thereby simplifying the application process. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of September 13, 2025. This legislative change aims to recognize and support veterans with disabilities by reducing bureaucratic hurdles and ensuring they have easier access to necessary accommodations.
