A temporary disability is one of such severity that it shall last for a duration of at least one year. The rules and regulations shall provide for the duration and costs of the permits and provide for disability classifications of "wheelchair user", "mobility impairment" as defined in R.S. 47:463.4(E), and "amputee of an upper extremity".
