The proposed bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to introduce a communication impairment designation for individuals with communication challenges. This new section, 1510.1, allows individuals to apply for a designation by submitting an application that includes a sworn statement from a qualified medical professional attesting to the individual's communication impairment, as well as a signature certification from the individual. The application process also includes provisions for emergency contact information and outlines penalties for submitting false information. The department is tasked with validating applications and updating electronic records to reflect the designation.

Additionally, the bill establishes a stylized lowercase "i" as the identifier symbol for individuals with communication impairments, which will be displayed on their driver's licenses or identification cards. It also mandates that the department share relevant information with law enforcement agencies while ensuring that specific medical details remain confidential. The bill includes provisions for the denial, cancellation, or revocation of the designation if fraud is detected, and it outlines the appeals process for individuals affected by such actions. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
