Permits person with certain brain injuries to voluntarily make notation on driver's license, identification card, and in MVC registry; establishes program to train law enforcement officers in interactions with persons with certain brain injuries.
New Jersey's S 3673 allows people with diagnosed traumatic or acquired brain injuries to voluntarily add a notation to their driver's license, ID card, and the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) registry. The bill creates a secure MVC registry storing vehicle details and emergency contact information to help law enforcement communicate effectively during stops. It also mandates annual training for all law enforcement agencies on de-escalation techniques and using the registry when interacting with individuals with brain injuries. Participation is entirely voluntary, and registry data is protected from public disclosure except during specific law enforcement actions.
