House Bill 1258, other- wise known as the Travis Alert Act, would assess the resources necessary to improve the Enhanced 911 program so that informa- tion pertaining to an indi- vidual's disability or spe- cial needs can be available to first responders before they arrive to the scene of an emergency. It would also require the Department of Health -- in concert with other agencies -- to review existing procedures and create a training program for first responders, provid- ing instruction for how to best respond to emergencies involving persons with spe- cial needs.
