Voluntary Emergency Contact Information on Driver's Licenses and IDs.
This Act establishes a grant program to help states implement systems allowing citizens to voluntarily include emergency contact information in their driver's license or ID records. The goal is to ensure authorized emergency personnel can quickly notify family members during an emergency. Participation is optional, and states must guarantee robust data security and restricted access.
