Bill > HB1120

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to remove the requirement that the Secretary of State designate a space on driver's licenses where licensees can indicate their blood type and RH factor. Specifically, the bill strikes the language in Section 6-110(d) that previously mandated this provision. The change means that driver's licenses will no longer have a designated area for individuals to record their blood type and RH factor. While the original purpose of such a designation may have been to provide quick medical information in emergency situations, the bill eliminates this optional feature from driver's licenses. The removal of this provision does not prevent individuals from carrying other forms of medical identification or emergency contact information if they choose to do so.
