The proposed bill aims to authorize the inclusion of a blood type designation on driver's licenses and identification cards in Arkansas. It amends Arkansas Code Title 27, Chapter 16, Subchapter 8, by adding a new section, 27-16-818, which outlines the process for individuals, or their parents or guardians, to apply for this designation. Applicants must provide a signed form indicating the individual's blood type and pay the associated fee for the driver's license or identification card. The bill also stipulates that if a duplicate license is requested, the fee will align with existing regulations.

Additionally, the bill grants the Office of Driver Services the authority to determine the placement of the blood type designation on the documents and to establish rules for administering this section. It clarifies that individuals are not required to provide their blood type unless they are applying for the designation and that applicants are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information submitted. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
