Beta

This bill would allow a notation to be added to Kentucky's vehicle registration database indicating that a regular passenger of that vehicle may be deaf, hard of hearing, or have a communication disorder. It also defines what counts as a communication disorder and gives the Transportation Cabinet authority to identify additional qualifying conditions through regulation. The goal is to make this information potentially available during vehicle stops or other interactions. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a communication disorder, and their household members or regular travel companions.
