Removal of identifying equipment and insignia from emergency vehicles sold to the public required.

Changed the definition of the regulated vehicle from 'public safety vehicle' to 'law enforcement vehicle' and clarified that it must be owned or leased by a state or local law enforcement agency.

Reorganized the list of prohibited equipment (lights, sirens, emblems, etc.) into a numbered list within the main text for better readability.

Removed ambulance services licensed under section 144E.10 from the list of entities exempt from the requirement to remove identifying equipment.

Added a new provision authorizing county or city attorneys to bring legal actions to recover civil penalties for violations.

Added an effective date clause stating the section becomes effective on October 1, 2026.

Added a subsection (a) to explicitly list specific equipment like emergency lights, sirens, and emblems that must be removed before a public safety vehicle is sold to the public.

Reorganized the compliance certificate section into subsections (a) and (b) to clearly distinguish the responsibilities of vehicle owners versus sellers/auction houses in providing the certificate.

Added a new exemption stating that the removal requirements do not apply when selling vehicles to the federal government, state, political subdivisions, or licensed ambulance services.

Updated the document title and posting date to reflect the first engrossment status and the new filing date of March 13, 2026.

Removed the standalone enforcement section regarding attorney general actions, likely integrating it into a different part of the bill or removing it in this version.
