This bill is a memorial requesting the Legislative Health and Human Services Committee to review and assess the current rules for applying for and renewing driver's licenses for individuals with diabetes. The bill highlights that the existing regulations require drivers with diabetes to provide an annual physician's report confirming they have not experienced episodes of ketosis or other metabolic disorders. It argues that this requirement may be overly burdensome, especially considering the prevalence of ketosis and the diligence of individuals with diabetes in managing their health. The bill emphasizes the need for a modern examination of these rules in light of current medical practices and science.

The memorial calls for the committee to explore less burdensome alternatives that still ensure driver safety for people with diabetes and to develop legislation to update the relevant statutes based on their findings. Additionally, it requests that copies of the memorial be sent to key stakeholders, including the chair and vice chair of the committee, the director of the motor vehicle division, and the chair of the New Mexico Diabetes Association, to ensure that all relevant parties are informed and involved in the process.
