Yep. Most states already do this and have for a long time. It’s not freely accessible and searchable, but you only need to know the information of the person to find more info on the states page.

I’m a socialist liberal who thinks Donald Trump should be struck into a conscious but unable to communicate vegetative state. Ya fuck wits, register that.

I would love for him to get locked in syndrome for a few years before he dies. It would be hell on Earth for a narcissist.

Do you have confidence the government would actually give them to the public?

It never hurts unless you try, but I suspect filling a FOIA for them will land you on the list.
