SB802

In licensing of drivers, providing for communication barrier designation; and imposing penalties.

Chamber Passed·3/18/26

Pennsylvania SB802 allows individuals with communication impairments to request a designation on their driver's license, with associated penalties.

Pennsylvania SB802 amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to allow individuals with communication impairments to request a designation on their driver's license. This designation, represented by a stylized lowercase "i," indicates the individual's condition and is printed on the front of their license. The bill outlines procedures for application, validation by a qualified medical professional, and the option to include emergency contact information. It prohibits fees for adding or removing the designation but allows fees for license renewal or duplication.
