Relates to the issuance of license plates for vehicles owned by severely disabled persons

◆ The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Rolison says this is needed

Under current law, the Department of Motor Vehicles may issue only one set of disabled license plates to a qualifying individual, limiting flexibility for severely disabled persons and their families. In many households, a disabled person may own or use multiple vehicles, or rely on family members for daily transportation needs. The existing statute does not account for these common, real-world scenarios. This bill provides the commissioner with the authority to issue addi- tional sets of disabled plates in the following situations: for multiple vehicles owned and operated by the severely disabled person, or for vehicles used by other severely disabled members of the same household; and for vehicles owned by family members residing with the disabled individual, when those vehicles are used to transport the disabled person.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
