Missouri SB1658 establishes a system for residents with communication impairments to notify law enforcement during traffic stops.
Missouri SB1658, known as "Mason's Law," allows residents with health conditions or disabilities that impair their ability to communicate with law enforcement to apply for a designation at the time of motor vehicle registration. This designation, valid for five years, will be recorded in the Missouri uniform law enforcement system (MULES) and accessible to law enforcement. The application requires certification from a physician or psychologist. The Department of Public Safety will provide guidance and materials to law enforcement to raise awareness of this designation.
