An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in licensing of drivers, providing for emergency contacts and medical conditions in driver records.
HB 1268 allows Pennsylvania drivers to voluntarily add up to two emergency contacts and specific medical conditions (like hearing impairment, autism, or certified communication disorders) to their driver's license records. The program, accessible during license renewal or vehicle registration, requires medical conditions to be certified by a healthcare provider and listed on a department-maintained public website. Participation is free, and the information is protected from public disclosure under Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law. This directly affects drivers who choose to enroll, providing law enforcement with critical health information during emergencies. The bill prohibits fees, restricts medical condition listings to defined categories, and allows drivers to opt in or out at any time.
