Adds to existing law to establish a next of kin database and a procedure for next of kin to be notified in the event of certain emergency situations.

This legislation amends Chapter 2, Title 49, Idaho Code, by adding a new section, 49-245, to create a Next-of-Kin Database within Idaho Transportation Department’s (ITD) Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This will give DMV the ability to collect the necessary information for coroners and other law enforcement to notify a relative or friend in the case of injury, death, or other emergencies. The information is voluntary for the drivers’ license owner. The legislation also defines next-of-kin.
