The bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code by updating definitions and regulations related to authorized emergency vehicles and their lighting. It introduces new categories of authorized emergency vehicles, including those owned by the Michigan Mutual Aid Box Alarm System and operated during interlocal emergencies. The bill also clarifies the definition of a "road service vehicle" and specifies the conditions under which various types of vehicles may be equipped with flashing, rotating, or oscillating lights. Notably, it allows for the use of these lights by a broader range of vehicles, including those involved in public utility services, neighborhood watch programs, and emergency response actions.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing language regarding the use of lights on vehicles, including the prohibition of certain colors and types of lights unless specified by law. It also establishes that a person operating a vehicle in violation of these regulations may be subject to a civil infraction with a fine of up to $100. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4302.
