An Act facilitating better interactions between police officers and persons with autism spectrum disorder

Summary

The law creates a “blue envelope” that holds a driver’s license and registration and provides written tips for police officers on how to talk with people on the autism spectrum. The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles must supply the envelopes to autistic drivers or their guardians, and police training programs must include instruction on the envelopes at least every five years. The goal is to make traffic stops safer and more effective for autistic motorists.
