Bill overview
This bill amends New Jersey law to allow individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to qualify for a handicapped parking placard. Currently, eligibility is limited to individuals with specific physical disabilities. The bill expands the definition of ‘person with a disability’ to include those with PTSD, certified by a licensed mental health professional. This change aims to provide greater accessibility and convenience for individuals managing the challenges associated with PTSD.
