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 intended 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 issuing handicapped placards, potentially streamlining the application process for individuals seeking these accommodations. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
