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 blood type and pay the applicable fee for the driver's license or identification card. The bill also stipulates that the Office of Driver Services will determine the placement of the blood type designation and establish rules for its administration.

Additionally, 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. If the blood type information is incorrect, the applicant must request a correction immediately. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
