The woman has a permanent parking placard which must be renewed annually.
Believe it or not, people, including permanently handicapped do have more than one vehicle, or may have to operate a vehicle, not their own.
Illinois Secretary of State
How do I obtain a disability parking placard or disability license plates?
An applicant must complete a Persons with Disabilities Certification for Parking Placard/License Plates form (VSD 62) certifying the disability by a licensed physician. If the applicant has a permanent disability, the form must be mailed to the Secretary of State's office (by either the physician or the applicant). Based on the information on the certification form, a disability parking placard and/or disability license plates will be issued.
If the applicant has a temporary disability, he/she may take the form to a Secretary of State facility and receive a temporary disability parking placard, which is good for up to six months, depending on the disability.
