Assembly Bill 302 proposes an amendment to Wisconsin's 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 seeks to expand the options available by allowing the use of a flashing purple light in addition to the existing amber light.
The specific legal language being amended is found in section 347.25 (3) of the statutes, where the bill inserts the phrase "or purple" to authorize the use of flashing purple lights during funeral processions. This change aims to enhance the visibility and recognition of funeral processions on the road, providing an additional option for those participating in such solemn events.
