The proposed bill, Senate Bill 288, seeks to amend the current law regarding authorized lights for vehicles in funeral processions. Under existing regulations, only flashing amber lights are permitted for the lead vehicle or all vehicles in a funeral procession. This bill introduces the option to use a flashing purple light in addition to the existing amber light.

Specifically, the amendment to section 347.25 (3) of the statutes allows for the lead vehicle in a funeral procession, or any vehicle in the procession if all are equipped, to utilize either a flashing amber or purple light during the procession. This change aims to enhance the visibility and recognition of funeral processions on the road.
