Proposed Bill No. 6602 aims to enhance interactions between first responders and individuals with cognitive or physical impairments by mandating the development of specific materials and training. The bill requires the Commissioner of Developmental Services to create color-specific envelopes that contain written guidance for effective communication between first responders—such as police, emergency medical services, and firefighters—and individuals with disabilities. These envelopes will also hold essential documents like a motor vehicle operator's license and may include additional information related to the individual's impairments.

Furthermore, the bill calls for the establishment of a training curriculum for first responders to ensure they are equipped with best practices for engaging with persons with cognitive impairments or disabilities. Additionally, the Commissioner of Developmental Services, in collaboration with the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, is tasked with creating informational materials that promote awareness and acceptance of these individuals. The overall goal of the bill is to improve safety, communication, and understanding between first responders and community members with disabilities.
