To create a Persons with Disabilities Registry.
HB 3281 creates a voluntary "Persons with Disabilities Registry" that local law enforcement agencies can maintain. It allows adults with disabilities (like autism or dementia), minors (enrolled by parents/guardians), and incapacitated adults (enrolled by legal guardians) to join by providing medical certification or proof of guardianship. The registry includes personal details and disability information but is strictly confidential - exempt from public records requests under FOIA - and can only be shared with law enforcement during official duties. Individuals can request removal at any time, with agencies required to process requests within five business days.
