Providing reports to DMV on mental and physical disabilities for driver's license
SB 195, known as "McKayla, Miranda, and Philip's Law," requires licensed healthcare providers (including doctors, nurses, and specialists) to report to West Virginia's DMV within 10 days when diagnosing patients over 15 with mental or physical conditions that could affect driving safety. The law mandates reports including the patient's full name, date of birth, and address, with confidentiality protections and immunity for reporters. This directly affects healthcare providers who must submit these reports and drivers with qualifying disabilities, as the DMV will use them to assess medical competency for retaining a driver's license. The bill aims to ensure safety by enabling the DMV to review licenses when health conditions may impair driving ability. It takes effect July 1, 2025.
