The bill H. 3842 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 40-45-285, which allows physical therapists to certify that an individual is handicapped. This certification can indicate whether the handicap is temporary or permanent, and it is specifically for the purpose of the individual's application for a handicapped placard.

This legislative change expands the authority of physical therapists in the process of obtaining handicap placards, which were previously limited to certain medical professionals. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, enhancing accessibility for individuals with temporary or permanent disabilities.
