CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to provide that an operator's or chauffeur's license could contain a sticker or decal to indicate that the licensee had designated one or more patient advocates in accordance with the Estates and Protected Individuals Code, or to state that the licensee carried an emergency medical information card.
The licensee's emergency medical information card could contain information concerning the person's patient advocate designation, other emergency medical information, an indication as to where the cardholder had stored or registered emergency medical information, or the licensee's emergency contract information.
The sticker or decal could be provided by any person, hospital, school, medical group, or association interested in assisting in implementing the emergency medical information card, but would have to meet the Secretary of State's specifications.
