What’s in it

This bill requires the department of transportation (DOT) to issue a first responder identification card to a first responder upon application, without fee. For purposes of the bill, first responders include emergency medical care providers, registered nurses staffing an authorized service program, physician assistants staffing an authorized service program, fire fighters, and peace officers. A first responder may apply for a first responder identification card when the person applies for issuance or renewal of a driver’s license or nonoperator’s identification card.

Read the full explanation

The DOT may require an applicant to provide reasonable proof the applicant is a first responder. The card must designate the holder as a first responder and display a color photograph of the applicant, the applicant’s full name, and the date of issuance.
