The committee voted to pass HB 2562, which adds physical therapists to the list of providers who may certify a person’s need for a disability license plate or permanent/temporary placard; proponents said the change will reduce delays and 18 states already allow PTs to certify.

House Bill 26 09 would create a statutory framework for supported decision‑making agreements, allowing adults to name supporters, setting duties and fiduciary limits, and providing third‑party recognition and penalties for misuse; disability advocates and clinicians urged passage as a less‑restrictive alternative to guardianship.
