Vehicle registration; allow persons to indicate communication impediments on application form for.

HB 257 requires Mississippi vehicle registration applications to include a voluntary option for applicants to indicate a health condition or disability that may affect communication with law enforcement (e.g., speech, hearing issues, or autism spectrum disorder). Applicants may need to provide verification from specific healthcare providers (like doctors or speech therapists), but the Department of Revenue shares only basic categories (not specific conditions) with the Department of Public Safety. This information is added to the Mississippi Criminal Information Center to alert officers during traffic stops, but the bill prohibits disclosing the specific condition to the public or sharing it beyond law enforcement access. The bill also bans visible license plate markings indicating communication needs and ensures all health-related data remains confidential.
