What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the lead vehicle in a funeral procession may be equipped

with a flashing amber light. Any vehicle in the procession may also be equipped with

a flashing amber light if all vehicles in the procession are so equipped. A vehicle

equipped with such a light may only use the light in the procession. Under this bill,

vehicles permitted to be equipped with a flashing amber light may instead be

equipped with a flashing purple light.
