6 Section shall be read to prohibit local authorities from
7 issuing such decal or device to persons with temporary
8 disabilities, provided that such decal or device is valid for
9 no more than 90 days, subject to renewal for like periods
10 based upon continued disability, and further provided that
11 such decal or device clearly sets forth the date that the
12 decal or device expires.
