AB 365

This bill authorizes equipping all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility terrain

vehicles (UTVs) with whip lights.

Under current law, no person may operate an ATV or UTV that is equipped with

any of the following: 1) any color of light other than white or amber visible from the

front; 2) any color of light other than red, yellow, amber, or white that is visible from

the rear; or 3) any flashing, oscillating, or rotating light in a color other than yellow

or amber.

The bill authorizes the operation of ATVs and UTVs equipped with whip lights

that emit any color of light in a fixed display or according to any pattern or sequence

other than flashing red or blue. “Whip light” is defined as a series of lights arranged

vertically along a flexible rod that is attached to an ATV or UTV so that the emitted

light is visible from any direction.
