AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE USE OF STEADY BLUE LIGHTS ON WRECKERS.

SB 274 allows wreckers (tow trucks) to use steady blue lights in addition to their existing yellow or amber lights when the vehicle is stationary. This change directly affects wreckers operating on roadways, particularly during roadside recovery operations. The bill’s key provision amends traffic safety rules to increase visibility for wreckers when stopped, aiming to improve safety for both wreckers and other road users. The purpose statement confirms this is intended to enhance safety through better visibility during stationary work.
