Blue Envelope Awareness Act

This bill would add "blue envelope programs" to the list of purposes for which states and local governments can use federal Byrne grant funds. A blue envelope program is defined as a program that helps people with speech, hearing, or developmental disabilities communicate with police during traffic stops. Such programs would give out blue envelopes in which these individuals can keep documents about their disability to show officers. They would also train law enforcement officers on how to interact with these individuals.
