Bill Summary
As enacted, authorizes a motor vehicle operated by an emergency communications district that is marked as a mobile command vehicle or mobile communications vehicle to display flashing red or white lights or a combination of flashing red and white lights. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 9, Part 4.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to authorize emergency communications districts to use flashing red or white lights (or a combination of both) on vehicles designated as mobile command or mobile communications vehicles. Currently, there are specific restrictions on which types of vehicles can display emergency lights, and this bill creates an exception for emergency communications district vehicles. The purpose appears to be to allow these specialized vehicles greater visibility and potential priority movement during emergency response or communication scenarios. By adding this provision to Tennessee Code Annotated Section 55-9-402(d)(1), the bill expands the list of authorized vehicle types that can use emergency lighting. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the second section, which emphasizes the public welfare aspect of the legislative change.
