Requires that driver's licenses indicate the blood type of the licensee upon the licensee's request
S 2379 would allow New York drivers to request that their blood type be printed on their driver's license or learner's permit. The bill requires the state to create a designated space on licenses for blood type information upon the holder's written request during application or renewal. It does not mandate blood type inclusion by default; it is optional and solely at the driver's discretion. The commissioner of motor vehicles would establish regulations to implement this feature, ensuring it aligns with existing license requirements.
