Concerning parking privileges for veterans.

SB 5410 amends Washington State law to expand eligibility for disability parking privileges to include veterans. Specifically, it adds veterans with a 70% or higher disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs who use a service animal (as defined by federal regulations) to the list of qualifying individuals under existing parking rules. The bill does not create new benefits but extends current disability parking access to this veteran group, requiring the same medical certification as other applicants. It maintains all existing requirements for documentation, application, and issuance of parking placards or license plates. This change directly affects eligible veterans seeking parking accommodations under Washington’s disability parking program.
