Michigan HB5644 allows nurse practitioners to determine disability for parking placards.

Michigan HB5644 amends the state's traffic control laws to expand the list of healthcare professionals who can determine disability for parking placards. Certified nurse practitioners are now included alongside physicians, physician assistants, physical therapists, and optometrists. This change aims to streamline the process for individuals with qualifying disabilities to obtain necessary parking accommodations. The bill also outlines the conditions that qualify an individual for a disability placard and the penalties for misuse of these placards.
