What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Transportation to inquire whether an

applicant for an operator's license or vehicle registration wants to provide specified

emergency contact information to DOT. If an applicant provides emergency contact

information, DOT must record that information in DOT's file for the applicant. DOT

must provide a method for a law enforcement agency that identifies a person to

electronically request and automatically receive the emergency contact information

recorded in the person's file.
