HB 2772 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

license; driver; nonoperating; medical indicia

HB 2772 allows Arizona drivers and nonoperating ID license holders to indicate on their license whether they have a medical condition (using a medical code) or a prehospital medical care directive (a document refusing CPR in cardiac/respiratory arrest). License holders can add a medical code by providing a doctor's note, but the code is only printed on the license - not stored in state records - unless requested. For prehospital directives, an orange symbol on the license signifies a valid, state-compliant "Do Not Resuscitate" document (printed on orange paper with specific wording), and emergency responders are immune from liability when acting on this symbol. This bill directly affects Arizonans with specific medical conditions or end-of-life care preferences, making it easier for first responders to quickly identify their resuscitation wishes.
