Bill Summary
For legislation to establish a yellow dot program. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a voluntary "yellow dot" program in Massachusetts that allows individuals aged 62 or over, and those with chronic illnesses, to obtain a yellow dot decal to place on their vehicle's rear window. The decal alerts emergency responders to check the vehicle's glove compartment for a corresponding yellow folder containing the participant's critical health information, such as medical conditions, medications, and emergency contacts. The program aims to assist emergency personnel in providing appropriate treatment during a vehicle accident or medical emergency. The bill also outlines the program materials to be designed by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, allows for a fee to cover program costs, and provides liability protection for emergency responders acting in good faith based on the information provided.
