The proposed bill aims to authorize the inclusion of a blood type designation on driver's licenses and identification cards in Arkansas. It introduces a new section, 27-16-818, to the Arkansas Code, allowing individuals, or their parents or guardians, to apply for this designation through the Office of Driver Services. Applicants must provide a signed form indicating the person's blood type and pay the associated fee for the driver's license or identification card. The bill also outlines that if a duplicate license is requested, the fee will align with existing regulations.

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