No Permanent Renewals

From USNews:
"Permanent Disability Placards No Longer Require Renewals"

The Arizona Department of Transportation says permanent disability placards now are indeed permanent. The department said Thursday that a change in state law eliminates a previous requirement for renewals after five years and that newly issued permanent placards no longer have an expiration date. According to the department, the blue-colored permanent placards are designed to be a convenience for disabled motorists who may use more than one vehicle or for family members, friends or caregivers who drive a disabled person in a vehicle without a disability plate. The change doesn't affect red-colored temporary disability placards that are valid for six months. The department says blue placards with an expiration date can be exchanged at no charge for a new one without an expiration date by using the ServiceArizona.com website.

^ You would think it would be common sense (and law) that no one in any place would have to renew something that is permanent like a Permanent Disability Placard, but in most places you do. I'm glad to see Arizona is changing their rules. ^
