An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in licensing of drivers, providing for emergency contacts and medical conditions in driver records.
This bill creates a new program allowing Pennsylvania drivers to voluntarily add emergency contacts and specific medical conditions to their official records. Participants can list up to two emergency contacts and report conditions such as deafness, autism spectrum disorder, or other communication impediments certified by a healthcare provider. The information is intended to assist law enforcement during official encounters, and the program is free of charge with no fees for enrollment. While the data is protected from public inspection under state law, the department must notify police agencies about the program's existence.
