SB 1477 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to accessories of motor vehicles

SB 1477 would change current law to allow motorcycle riders to use any color for auxiliary lighting (like turn signals or auxiliary lights), instead of being restricted to only amber or white. This directly affects motorcycle owners and manufacturers by removing color restrictions on these lights. The key provision eliminates the existing requirement for specific light colors, permitting any color choice for auxiliary lighting systems. The bill focuses solely on this regulatory change to motorcycle lighting standards.
