28-3167. Medical code information on license;
rules; immunity
A. The department shall provide on each driver license and on each nonoperating
identification license a space where a licensee may indicate that the licensee suffers
from some type of adverse medical condition using a medical code prescribed by the
department if the licensee presents a signed statement from a physician who is licensed
pursuant to title 32, chapter 13 or 17 or a registered nurse practitioner who is licensed
pursuant to title 32, chapter 15 stating that the person suffers from the condition.
B. The department shall prescribe by rule a medical code to identify the medical
conditions using a system of numerals or letters commonly accepted by the medical
profession. Except for the purposes of entering the medical code on the driver license
or nonoperating identification license, and unless the person affirmatively requests in
writing that the person wants the medical code as part of the computer record, the
department shall not maintain the medical code in the department computer after the
department issues the driver license or nonoperating identification license.
C. The department and this state are exempt from liability for damages from the use
of medical code information provided on a license pursuant to this section.
