Bill > S1589

This bill amends Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow municipal emergency management vehicles to display flashing, rotating, or oscillating green lights. The bill specifies that these green lights can only be used when the vehicle is responding to an emergency or alarm, and the operator must have a written permit from the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. The bill also gives the Registrar authority to revoke the permit and impose fines for unauthorized use of the green lights. The purpose of the bill is to differentiate municipal emergency management vehicles from other emergency vehicles, such as police and fire, which use red and blue lights respectively.
