AI Summary
This bill establishes a voluntary "yellow dot" program through the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. The program allows individuals aged 62 or over, and those with chronic illnesses, to obtain a yellow dot window decal and a corresponding yellow dot folder to be placed in their vehicle's glove compartment. The folder contains the participant's critical health information, which can be accessed by emergency responders in the event of an accident or medical emergency. The bill requires the Registrar to design the program materials, consult with relevant state agencies, and establish a public awareness campaign. It also provides liability protections for emergency responders who act in good faith when responding to participants.
