Bill Summary

AN ACT Relating to requiring headlight use on motor vehicles at 2 all times; amending RCW 46.37.020; and repealing RCW 47.04.180. 3

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to require all motor vehicles on highways in the state of Washington to display lighted headlights at all times, rather than just during certain low-visibility conditions. It also repeals a previous law that had established a "twenty-four hour headlight policy" for certain state highways. In other words, this bill makes the use of headlights mandatory for all motor vehicles, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.
