An Act relating to failure to use headlights.

HB 269 clarifies when drivers in Alaska must use headlights, directly affecting all drivers operating vehicles on public roads. The bill specifies three main situations requiring headlights: between 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise (except during certain low-visibility periods), when visibility drops below 1,000 feet due to weather or darkness, and on designated traffic safety corridors. It also adds seasonal requirements based on latitude: north of 60°N from September 16-April 30, on paved Sterling Highway year-round, and south of 60°N from October 1-April 14. The law applies to offenses occurring on or after the bill's effective date.
