Legislation sponsored by Senator Bob Singer (R-Monmouth, Ocean) to provide emergency responders with vital health information about injured motorists was advanced today by the full Senate. S71 has been revised to mirror Gov. Chris Christie’s conditional veto message.

“This initiative alerts responders that victim’s vital health information is in glove boxes, giving first responders a better chance of reviving our motorists in life-threatening circumstances,” Singer emphasized. “Yellow Dot programs are working to help save lives in more than 20 states, including Connecticut and New York. I urge communities across this state to spread the word and encourage drivers to use yellow stickers.” [TLS]
