AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 2027, introduces a voluntary notation for individuals with a "communication disorder," defined as a health condition or disability that may impede effective communication, on their instruction permits, operator's licenses, or personal identification cards, with no fee charged for adding or removing this notation. The Department of Kentucky State Police will also implement training for law enforcement on how to interact with individuals who have communication disorders, and the bill amends existing laws to ensure this new provision is reflected in fee structures for identification documents.
