House Bill No. by Representative Braud amends the definition of "authorized emergency vehicle" in R.S. 32:1(1) to include vehicles used for coroner investigations, as designated by the parish coroner. This addition recognizes the role of coroner investigation vehicles in emergency situations, thereby expanding the scope of what constitutes an authorized emergency vehicle.
The bill retains existing definitions for various emergency vehicles, including those operated by fire departments, police, and certified ambulance services. The inclusion of coroner investigation vehicles aims to enhance the clarity and comprehensiveness of the law regarding emergency response vehicles in Louisiana.
