Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 27002 of the Vehicle Code, relating to emergency vehicles, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes emergency vehicles in California to be equipped with a "Hi-Lo" audible warning sound, which is an alternating high-low frequency sound. The bill allows the "Hi-Lo" to be used solely for the purpose of notifying the public of an immediate need to evacuate during an emergency, and specifies that it is not to be used in lieu of a siren when a siren is reasonably necessary. The bill also declares that it is an urgency statute that will take immediate effect, as it is necessary for first responders to be prepared to protect lives in case of a natural disaster or other large-scale emergency.
