Designed to prevent future tragedies and foster safer interactions, the law empowers law enforcement with critical awareness at a glance, turning potential confrontations into moments of understanding and de-escalation. Inspired by fear and advocacy from families like Mason Ott’s, this legislation represents a vital step toward building trust and protecting vulnerable road users across the state.
