Bill Summary

For legislation relative to drivers license information. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 8 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, which pertains to drivers' licenses, by requiring the registrar, the official responsible for issuing licenses, to collect additional emergency contact information from all license applicants. Specifically, individuals aged 21 and older will need to provide the name and contact details of an emergency contact, while those under 21 will be required to provide the name and contact information of their next of kin, or if no next of kin exists, a person who can act in their place. This change aims to ensure that authorities have a designated person to contact in case of an emergency involving a licensed driver.
