Hey friends –

 

I have a Friday/follow-up to Santa Fe question.  Without airing all the dirty laundry in my state, we had a troubling incident with a police officer and a man who was deaf.  As a result, a well-meaning state legislator would like to introduce legislation for state ids to include information about diagnoses.

 

Refresh my memory about which states were doing this, please?  Seems like this was the legislator from NM we met???

 

Sample legislation welcome, as would a discussion of pros and cons.

 

Thank you!

 

Ann

Is wanting to introduce a bill next year that indicates on your state ID you have a speech, hearing or sight impairment – in response to the Deaf man who was shot and killed by OKCPD.  We need to probably advise him ASAP.  I have a call in to him.
