Bill Summary

RELATING TO THE YELLOW DOT MOTOR VEHICLE MEDICAL INFORMATION ACT; REPEALING CHAPTER 47, TITLE 39, IDAHO CODE, RELATING TO THE YELLOW DOT MOTOR VE- HICLE MEDICAL INFORMATION ACT; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to completely repeal Chapter 47 of Title 39 in the Idaho Code, which relates to the Yellow Dot Motor Vehicle Medical Information Act. The Yellow Dot program was likely a voluntary system that allowed motorists to indicate critical medical information for emergency responders in the event of a vehicle accident, typically by placing a yellow dot sticker on their vehicle or glove compartment. The bill includes an emergency clause stating that the repeal will take effect on July 1, 2025, which suggests the legislature wants to give some advance notice before eliminating the existing program. By repealing the entire chapter, the bill would remove all legal provisions and mechanisms that previously established and governed the Yellow Dot program in Idaho, effectively terminating the program's official status under state law.
