Published by the Missouri House as the official summary of the version that passed (source PDF). Reproduced here in full, unedited.
This bill adds occupational therapists to the list of licensed professionals who can issue a statement so that disabled plates or a disabled windshield placard can be obtained by a patient.
The bill increases the renewal period for removable windshield disability placards from four years to eight years and requires that the Department of Revenue automatically renew current valid disabled placards for eight years or for the duration that correlates with the disabled person's current physician's statement expiration date, until all permanent disabled placards are on an eight-year renewal cycle.
