Registration Plates for Disabled
An Act relating to issuance of a motor vehicle registration plate to or parking permit for a person who is disabled
For Immediate Release: February 19, 1999
Contact: Representative Jeannette James at (907) 465-3743.
House Bill 2 makes one simple change to Title 28, "Vehicle Registration and Title," allowing Licensed Nurse Practitioners to provide proof of disability for persons eligible to receive specially designed license plates.
Currently, only licensed physicians are authorized to provide proof of disability. Alaska has many medical facilities in both rural and urban settings where a Nurse Practitioner is the only licensed medical person available, and this bill would allow much-needed flexibility.
