This bill amends existing law to allow health care providers affiliated with the Veterans Administration (VA) to certify medical accommodations for veterans residing in New Hampshire. Specifically, it modifies RSA 266:61-a, IX, to permit medical certifications or documentation required for a waiver of certain motor vehicle equipment requirements to be provided not only by medical providers licensed in New Hampshire but also by licensed medical providers affiliated with the VA, regardless of their state of licensure.

The bill aims to streamline the process for veterans seeking special permits for aftermarket tinting on their vehicle windows for bona fide medical reasons. The current law allows the commissioner to grant waivers for such permits, and the inclusion of VA-affiliated providers is intended to enhance accessibility for veterans who may not have local medical providers available to certify their needs. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
