(ONN) – A new state law is designed to bridge the communication gap between first responders and those with disabilities.

House Bill 144, also known as Keith’s Law, expands on the already existing communication disability law.

The voluntary database gives people the option to list a communication or mental disability on their license plate and driver’s license, notifying first responders during, say, a traffic stop.

Keiths Law makes it statewide to all first responders.

Disability verification forms can be found on the Ohio Department of Disabilities website and can be returned to the BMV with a doctor’s signature.
