An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in licensing of drivers, further providing for issuance and content of driver's license.
HB 517 allows individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder to request a public notation on their Pennsylvania driver's license or ID card. To add this notation, applicants must submit a sworn statement from a licensed medical professional verifying the diagnosis. Parents or guardians may also request this notation for minors under 18, following the same verification process. The bill requires the state department to create implementing regulations and takes effect 60 days after enactment.
