HB 66 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Motor vehicles; driver licenses; designation of certain medical conditions, provided for

HB 66 would require Alabama's driver license agency to let residents voluntarily indicate on their license or ID card that they have certain invisible medical conditions, such as autism, blindness, hearing loss, or cognitive disabilities. To add this designation, individuals must provide a doctor's diagnosis from a licensed Alabama physician and would not be charged a fee. The bill specifies a discreet symbol (based on Alabama's state flower) would be added to the license, aiming to help first responders recognize these conditions during emergencies. If passed, the law would take effect on October 1, 2026.
