What it does

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 These authorizations were set to be repealed July 1, 2019.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.
