AZ HB2323

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

Program materials must include a yellow 3.5-inch diameter decal reading "Saving Lives" for the rear driver's side window, a health information card with participant photo and medical details, and a yellow envelope for the glove compartment.

A yellow decal on a vehicle involved in an accident or emergency notifies responders that the driver or passenger may be a program participant and authorizes responders to search the glove compartment for the information envelope.

Emergency responders may use the health information to identify participants, determine if medical conditions impede communication, contact emergency contacts, and consider medications and preexisting conditions when administering treatment.

Emergency responders are not liable for civil damages resulting from incomplete, incorrect, or outdated information unless involving intentional misconduct or gross negligence, and are not liable for vehicle damage when obtaining information.
