STATE NEWS McLean, Va., January 8, 2007 – The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) today released a position statement that calls on lawmakers and private sector payers to eliminate barriers to access and delivery of cognitive rehabilitation treatment for patients with acquired brain injuries. ------------------------------------------ The Indiana Help-line has recently received calls regarding the driver’s license green dot restriction for medical conditions. The BMV has informed us the green dot restriction has been changed to the number 8. A form, numbered ST50018, “is required if a physician recommends a restriction on an individual who has an existing medical condition which may cause him or her to appear to be intoxicated.” There is also a box on the same form that a physician can indicate that an individual is “subject to fainting spells or seizures that are currently under control with medication.” The form is available at the license branch and must be completed by a physician prior to licensure renewal. The form has two parts. The top (white) copy is submitted at the time of renewal and the bottom (pink) copy is kept in any vehicle that the individual operates. Individuals may call the Bureau of Motor Vehicles at 317-233-6000 or www.indiana-bmv.dmv.org ##
