In an unusual and progressive move nationally, the state of Georgia has passed legislation that effective July, 2010, veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can have that notification on their driver's licenses. Apparently some graphical symbol, as yet undisclosed, will clarify that the license-holder has PTSD. Read more about the legislation, here.
This seems to be a good idea, because it's important for law enforcement and first responders to know if the person they're stopping, arresting or treating has PTSD. It can make the experience go better for everyone involved, especially if coupled with training.
Editor's note: The image of the license here is just a Georgia driver's license sample, not how the proposed driver's license with PTSD notation will look.
