Present law provides free parking for a disabled veteran, his conveyance, and his passengers at any

plate or a completed certificate from the La. Dept. of Veterans Affairs certifying that the disabled
veteran has a service-connected disability of 50% or more, as determined by the U.S. Dept. of
Veterans Affairs.
Present law specifies that free parking at air carrier airports is authorized for any disabled veteran,
his conveyance, and his passengers at any air carrier airport.
Present law specifies that if the disabled veteran provides proof of his service-connected disability
in the form of a military honor license plate or a completed certificate from the La. Dept. of Veterans
Affairs certifying that the disabled veteran has a service-connected disability, as determined by the
U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, he may avail himself of free airport parking.
Proposed law adds a disabled veteran identification card issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs as an acceptable form of proof of disability for purposes of present law.
