An Act relative to licensed funeral home vehicles

This bill (HD 3736) allows funeral home vehicles, operated by funeral directors or their staff, to use special lighting without needing a motor vehicle permit. Specifically, it permits purple, violet, amber, clear, or white flashing lights and backward-facing red lights during funeral processions or when responding to a fatality for the chief medical examiner. All vehicles in a funeral procession may also use standard hazard lights (4-way flashers). The law directly affects licensed funeral homes, funeral directors, and livery companies operating these vehicles. It removes the requirement for a permit or registration to use these specific lights under defined circumstances.
