Clarifies that residents with mental illness or substance use disorders may be included on public safety special assistance municipal lists.

This bill (A3038) clarifies that residents with mental illness or substance use disorders can request inclusion on municipal "special assistance" lists maintained for emergency response. These lists, created by local ordinances, contain names and addresses of residents needing special support during emergencies, with details about their specific needs. Municipal clerks must share the list - updated monthly - with police, fire departments, and emergency medical services to aid responders. The bill ensures these residents can proactively add their information to help emergency personnel better assist them.
