What’s in it
AI summary State and local government vehicles used for snow and ice removal can now use blue and white lights or reflectors along with amber ones. This change allows cities, counties, and other local agencies to use these specific lights on their trucks, tractors, and snow blowers.1
Read the official explanation
In 2015, the general assembly authorized motor trucks, trailers, tractors, truck-mounted snow blowers, and motor graders owned by the department of transportation and used for snow and ice treatment or removal to display rear-facing blue and white lighting devices or reflectors in conjunction with amber lighting devices or reflectors. These authorizations were set to be repealed July 1, 2019. In 2018, the general assembly struck these future repeal provisions. This bill applies those authorizations to such vehicles owned by the state or any political subdivision of the state, including any local authority. Under Code chapter 321, a “local authority” is any county, municipal, and other local board or body having authority to adopt local police regulations under the constitution and laws of the state.423 is punishable by a scheduled fine of $45.
