“People who live with health challenges such as IBD, IBS, and Crohn’s Disease often have the urgent need to use a restroom,” said Singer (R-30). “Providing them quick access to a handicapped spot can prevent embarrassing accidents and help preserve their dignity.”

Singer’s legislation, S-3628, would allow a person diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or Crohn’s Disease to be eligible to receive from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) a person with a disability identification card, a vehicle identification placard, and license plates that display the national wheelchair symbol.

People living with the covered conditions often suffer from the debilitating urgency to use a restroom immediately. In addition, the chronic nature of these conditions can result in certain mobility issues, such as difficulty walking, standing, or traveling for long periods of time.
