Emergency Contact Database Headed To Governor

A bill creating an emergency contact database for those injured in accidents is headed to Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb’s desk. The proposal is aimed at enabling law enforcement officers responding to crashes to quickly notify an emergency contact of a death or life-threatening injury. The Indiana House voted 91-0 Tuesday for final passage of the bill. If signed into law by Holcomb, the database would need to be operational by mid-2019.
