Queensland Residents draws to the attention of the House, Queensland doctors do not have a legislative requirement to report patients suffering from a medical condition that affects their ability to drive safely to Queensland Transport. Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to amend the current legislation to include doctors reporting medical conditions that affects a persons ability to drive safely to Queensland Transport and officially rename the current and amended legislation to ‘Jet’s Law’ in memory of Jet Rowland who died after an unstable epileptic driver crashed into his families vehicle.
