The department must also issue a special motorcycle license tag to an individual who meets the requirements of this Section. Each application for the license must be accompanied by the certificate of a licensed physician as defined in Section 40-47-5 as to the permanency of limb impairment or as to the severity or the permanency of mobility impairment."
