Travis Alert Act headed to the governor's desk
After a unanimous vote
Monday in the state Senate,
the Travis Alert Act passed
its second-to-last hurdle
before becoming law.
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. The act is named
after Travis King, a 12 year-
old boy with autism from
