Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to require reports on diseases, disorders, disabilities or conditions affecting the ability of a person to competently drive a motor vehicle to the Division of Motor Vehicles.
AI Summary
This bill requires healthcare providers, including physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, and other licensed professionals, to notify the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within 10 days of diagnosing a patient with a physical or mental disease, disorder, disability, or condition that prevents the person from safely operating a motor vehicle. The reports are confidential and can only be used in proceedings related to suspending, revoking, or reinstating the person's driver's license. Healthcare providers are immune from liability if they follow certain procedures, such as documenting the condition in the patient's record and advising the patient not to drive. The bill also specifies that no report can be based solely on the person's age.
