MA H3741

Establishes a voluntary "Yellow Dot Program" through the Registry of Motor Vehicles to help emergency responders identify and treat drivers/passengers who are unable to communicate after accidents or medical emergencies

Participants receive a yellow decal for their rear driver's side window, a medical information form (requiring name, photo from past 5 years, up to 2 emergency contacts, medical conditions, allergies, medications, hospital preference), and a yellow envelope to store the form in the glove compartment

Program materials must be available at RMV offices, online, and in bulk at no cost to outside organizations; the registrar must conduct a public education campaign and notify the Executive Office of Public Safety

Unauthorized use of yellow dot information for non-emergency purposes constitutes identity theft under MGL Chapter 266 Section 37E

Emergency responders and healthcare providers are shielded from civil and criminal liability when acting in good faith using program information, except in cases of wanton or willful misconduct
