Rio's Law.

Summary

The bill adds new training requirements for criminal justice officers, emergency medical services (EMS) workers, and fire‑rescue personnel so they can properly recognize and interact with people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or on the autism spectrum. It also establishes a special vehicle registration plate that identifies drivers with autism. The measures aim to improve public safety and accessibility for neurodivergent and hearing‑impaired North Carolinians.
