  (2) The department shall issue a disabled person parking permit
in the form of a decal or individual placard to any person who

placard has been lost, mutilated or destroyed.  { + The
department may issue a duplicate placard for each vehicle
registered by an applicant in this state. + } The department may
issue a temporary duplicate permit to a person who needs a
duplicate permit for travel purposes. A temporary duplicate
permit shall be valid for 30 days. The department shall adopt
rules governing application for and issuance of temporary
duplicate permits. Nothing in this subsection prohibits issuance
of an individual placard to a person who has been issued a decal.
  (4) Permits issued under this section, other than temporary
duplicate permits, may be renewed by mail.
  (5) Permits for use on vehicles that are regularly used as part
of a program for the transportation of persons with disabilities
are issued as provided in ORS 811.607.
  (6) Except as provided in subsection (7) of this section, the
department shall determine the form, size and content of any
decal or placard issued under this section and shall adopt rules
governing their issuance, display and use as necessary to carry
out this section.
  (7)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection,
the department may not require a decal or placard issued under
this section to an individual or a family to contain any
identifying information about the person to whom the decal or
placard is issued, including any of the following:
