Unless an applicant's disability is readily observable and uncontested, a certificate signed by an authorized health care practitioner attesting to the disability must be submitted to the department before a distinguishing placard is issued to a disable person or veteran. The certifying health care practitioner must retain information supporting the certificate and make such information available for inspection by the Medical Board upon request by the department.
The DMV shall make any information contained in a physician's certificate supporting a disability of an applicant for disabled person's parking privileges available to a requesting law enforcement agency or agency responsible for the administration and enforcement of parking regulations. Such information shall not be disclosed to private or third-party parking citation processing agencies. Boards established by local authorities may review the requested information.
