Bill > H3537

This bill establishes an emergency responder yellow dot program in Massachusetts. The program allows participants to provide critical health and emergency contact information that can be accessed by emergency responders in the event of a motor vehicle accident or medical emergency involving the participant. The Registrar of Motor Vehicles is tasked with implementing the program, which includes providing participants with a medical information form, a yellow decal to affix to their vehicle, and a yellow envelope for storing the information. Emergency responders can use the information to identify participants, ascertain medical conditions, contact emergency contacts, and consider medications and pre-existing conditions when providing treatment. The bill also provides liability protections for emergency responders and health care providers acting in good faith when using the information.
