by deleting all language after the enacting clause and substituting instead the following: 
 SECTION 1.  Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-21-103(b)(2), is amended by 
deleting subdivision (C) and substituting instead the following: 
 (C)  Temporary placards may be issued under this part to persons who are 
temporarily disabled by a nonambulatory or semi-ambulatory condition due to surgery, 
bone fracture or breakage, or similar condition, and whose temporary disabling condition 
and the estimated duration of the condition is noted on the physician's statement.  
Temporary placards may also be issued to a female who has a pregnancy certified to be 
high risk by her physician.  Temporary placards must be issued for the estimated 
duration of the condition, but not in excess of six (6) months, at a cost of ten dollars 
($10.00).  Temporary placards may be reissued for a similar period at the same cost.  
Temporary placards must be of a different design and color than permanent placards 
and must prominently note the expiration date. 
 SECTION 2.  This act takes effect January 1, 2027, the public welfare requiring it.
