This bill revises the laws surrounding motor vehicle registration donations specifically related to traumatic brain injuries. It establishes an automatic donation of $1 to support education and recovery for individuals and families affected by traumatic brain injuries, including military personnel, unless the individual opts out. The bill also amends the existing traumatic brain injury account to broaden its purpose, allowing funds to be used for activities that educate and support recovery, as well as promote brain injury prevention. Additionally, it mandates that county treasurers provide notice about this automatic donation during the registration process.

Furthermore, the bill makes several amendments to existing laws, including the deletion of previous voluntary donation language and the reallocation of funds from these donations to the appropriate accounts. It appropriates $600,000 from the traumatic brain injury account to the Department of Public Health and Human Services for the upcoming biennium, ensuring that resources are available for the intended educational and support initiatives. The bill aims to enhance awareness and support for those living with traumatic brain injuries through a more structured and automatic donation process during vehicle registration.
