Senate Bill 288 amends Wisconsin statute 347.25 (3) to expand the types of authorized lights that can be used on vehicles in a funeral procession. Currently, only flashing amber lights are permitted for the lead vehicle or all vehicles in the procession. The new legislation allows for the addition of flashing purple lights, thereby providing more options for funeral processions.
The bill was introduced by a bipartisan group of senators and representatives and has been referred to the Committee on Transportation and Local Government for further consideration. The amendment aims to enhance the visibility and recognition of funeral processions on the road, ensuring that they are treated with the respect and caution they deserve.
