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, while specifically incorporating the new category of coroner investigation vehicles. This legislative change aims to enhance clarity and ensure that all relevant emergency response vehicles are recognized under the law.
