Today, Feb. 10, State Rep. Sue Errington's (D-Muncie) House Bill 1297 passed out of the House Roads and Transportation Committee. The bill would establish the Yellow Dot Motor Vehicle Medical Information Program - providing reference stickers to help first responders deliver quick, lifesaving care to senior citizens or at-risk individuals during vehicle accidents.

Errington released the following statement regarding the bill's passage out of committee:

“I am pleased to announce that House Bill 1297 has successfully passed unanimously out of the House Roads and Transportation Committee. Those who sign up for this program will receive a yellow dot decal for their vehicle, letting first responders know that important health information can be found in the driver’s glove compartment.
