Relating to: creating a blue envelope program, granting rule-making authority, and making an appropriation. (FE)
AB 815 creates a "blue envelope" program to improve communication between law enforcement and individuals with invisible disabilities during traffic stops. The program provides free blue envelopes containing vehicle registration/insurance copies, safety information for recipients, and interaction guidelines for officers. Eligible individuals (including those covered by the ADA or needing accommodations) can request an envelope by declaring their disability on a form. The state will fund this initiative through general fund appropriations and develop training materials for law enforcement under the program.
