Bill > SB1676

This bill, known as "Mason's Law," establishes a system for individuals in Missouri with health conditions or disabilities that hinder their ability to communicate effectively with law enforcement to receive a special designation on their vehicle registration, starting January 1, 2027. To qualify, an applicant must obtain a certification from a licensed physician or psychologist stating that they, or their child, parent, or spouse, have a communication impairment expected to last at least five years. This certification is submitted to the Department of Revenue, which then informs the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The Highway Patrol will then create an entry in the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES), a statewide database used by law enforcement, indicating the communication impairment. This designation will be active for five years and can be renewed with a new physician or psychologist certification. The Department of Public Safety will also provide educational materials to law enforcement agencies to ensure awareness of this designation.
