Summary of the Introduced Version of the Bill

HB 2077 -- Missouri Yellow Dot Program

Sponsor: Lampe

This bill establishes the Missouri Yellow Dot Program within the

Department of Revenue to provide emergency responders with

critical health and emergency contact information about program

participants so emergency responders may aid program participants

when those individuals are involved in motor vehicle emergencies

or accidents and are unable to communicate.

The department must design program materials including, a yellow

decal designed by the department to be affixed to the rear

driver's side window of the program participant's vehicle; a

health information card providing space for an individual to

attach a recent photograph and indicate the individual's name,

emergency contact information, physician's names and contact

information, medical conditions, recent surgeries, allergies,

medications, and any other information the director deems

relevant to emergency responders in the case of emergency; a

yellow envelope designed by the department director into which

the health information card is to be inserted and placed into the

program participant's glove compartment; and a program

instruction sheet including an electronic mail address as

required under this program.

The department must provide sufficient program materials to other

state departments or agencies seeking to distribute or make the

materials available to interested persons. The department

director must notify the State Highway Patrol regarding the

implementation of this program so that all emergency responders

are informed about the program.
