MO HB1684

Exempts persons who are permanently disabled from needing to resubmit physician's statements when renewing disabled license plates or windshield placards, regardless of age.

Requires removable windshield placards to be renewed every four years, with the director allowed to stagger expiration dates.

Mandates new applicants and first-time renewal applicants (on or after August 1, 2005) to present a physician's statement dated within 90 days of application.

Specifies that subsequent renewals after the first renewal require a physician's statement only every four years, except for permanently disabled persons who provided a statement with their original application.

Establishes that fraudulent application or issuance of disabled plates or placards is a class A misdemeanor, and that physicians certifying disability outside their scope of practice is a class B misdemeanor.
