States could get federal help to add voluntary emergency contacts to driver's licenses.
This bill would create a new federal program to help states set up systems for voluntary emergency contact information on driver's licenses. This means people could choose to have their emergency contacts on file, making it easier for first responders to reach family during an accident. States would get grants or technical assistance to develop these systems.
Currently, there is no federal program to assist states in developing systems for voluntary inclusion of emergency contact information in driver's license and identification records. If this bill becomes law, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would establish a grant and technical assistance program to help states create these voluntary systems, with strict rules for data security and access.
