AI Summary

  • Cities, towns, or counties may establish a voluntary program to provide emergency responders with critical health information about enrolled participants involved in motor vehicle accidents or emergencies who cannot communicate.

  • Program participants receive a yellow decal to display on their rear driver's side window, a health information card with medical details (medications, allergies, conditions, emergency contacts), and a yellow envelope for the glove compartment.

  • A yellow decal authorizes emergency responders to search the vehicle's glove compartment for the health information envelope and use the information to identify participants, assess medical conditions, contact emergency contacts, and inform treatment decisions.

  • Cities, towns, or counties may charge participants a nominal fee to cover program costs and must distribute materials to law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency medical services.

  • Emergency responders are protected from civil liability for damages resulting from incomplete or outdated information provided in good faith, and are not liable for vehicle damage incurred while obtaining information from unresponsive participants.
