This bill allows individuals with traumatic or acquired brain injuries to voluntarily indicate their condition on their driver's license or non-driver identification card. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) will implement a system where these individuals can have a designation displayed on their identification, which will include a restriction code for law enforcement and emergency medical professionals to identify and communicate effectively with them. The bill also establishes an automated Statewide registry that law enforcement can access to gather relevant information about these individuals, including vehicle registration and emergency contact details. The information in the registry will be confidential and not subject to public disclosure, except under specific legal circumstances.

Additionally, the bill mandates the development of a training program for law enforcement officers, created by the Superintendent of the Division of State Police in collaboration with the MVC and the Commissioner of Human Services. This program will focus on identifying and communicating with individuals who have brain injuries, including training in de-escalation techniques. The program will be available annually to all county and municipal law enforcement agencies in New Jersey. The bill also includes provisions to limit civil liability for the MVC and its employees in certain situations, ensuring they are not held liable for issues arising from the registry or communication failures, unless there is evidence of malicious intent or gross negligence.
