A bill for an act relating to the color of light displayed by headlamps and auxiliary driving lamps, and making penalties applicable.
HF 2022 prohibits motor vehicles (excluding motorcycles, motorized bicycles, and all-terrain vehicles) from using headlamps or auxiliary driving lamps that display colors other than white. This applies to all vehicle owners and operators who equip their vehicles with these lights. Violating the law results in a $45 simple misdemeanor penalty. The bill specifically targets headlamps and front auxiliary driving lamps, leaving existing rules for signal lamps (like turn signals) unchanged.
