INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Getting first responders to help you as fast and as well as they can. One state lawmaker has a unique proposal he believes will do the trick. State Rep. Ethan Manning believes his bill involving yellow dots might actually help you in a crash. In that crash, you’re hurt and knocked out. You can’t speak to the emergency medical technicians or firefighters trying to help you. Manning said, “If there’s a question on something, this information could give them a leg up on immediately caring for a person before they arrive at the hospital.” Manning said six other states, including Illinois and Kentucky, already have a Yellow Dot law. The yellow dot would go somewhere on one of your vehicle’s windows. That would tell first responders to look inside your glove box. That’s where they would find an envelope with your health card inside. The card would have information including your emergency contacts, medications you’re taking, and your allergies. The voluntary program could cost the Bureau of Motor Vehicles from $500,000-$600,000 to run. That money would pay for the decals, envelopes and information cards. Under the bill, the BMV could charge up to $5 to join. Lawmakers want to make some changes to the proposal, so a vote wasn’t taken Tuesday in the House Committee on Veterans Affairs and Public Safety. The bill is expected back in front of lawmakers next week.
