This bill establishes a contact person notification program to assist law enforcement personnel who have contact with a person with mental or physical disabilities. The program will provide law enforcement officers with access to contact information for a participating person or their legal guardian, which will help with communication and better assist the person with disabilities. The program will be developed and implemented by the division of state police and will include standards of procedure for law enforcement agencies. The bill also appropriates $50,000 to the department of safety for the establishment and administration of the program.

The fiscal note states that the bill will have a fiscal impact on the state, with a $50,000 appropriation in FY 2024 for the establishment and administration of the contact person notification program. The Department of Safety does not anticipate needing to hire additional personnel, but expects the entire appropriation to be expended in FY 2024 for necessary system programming changes.
