The bill amends RCW 46.37.020 to require that all motor vehicles display lighted headlights at all times while on highways in Washington State. This change introduces a new requirement that every motor vehicle must have its headlights on regardless of the time of day or visibility conditions, replacing the previous stipulation that headlights were only required from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise and during times of insufficient light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions.

Additionally, the bill repeals RCW 47.04.180, which previously established a twenty-four hour headlight policy. The amendments aim to enhance road safety by ensuring that vehicles are more visible at all times, thereby reducing the risk of accidents caused by poor visibility.
