Bill > SB711

This bill modifies Missouri law regarding motorcycle lighting, primarily expanding the allowable colors for auxiliary lighting from only amber and white to any color. The bill specifies detailed requirements for motorcycle headlamp modulators, including technical specifications like modulation rate (240 cycles per minute, plus or minus 40), light intensity levels, and sensor placement. Auxiliary lighting must meet specific criteria: it must be nonblinking, nonflashing, nonoscillating, and directed toward the motorcycle's engine and drive train to avoid interfering with the operator's driving. The bill also mandates that auxiliary lighting modulators be labeled with maximum and minimum wattage and include mounting instructions. These changes aim to provide motorcyclists with more flexibility in lighting options while maintaining safety standards by ensuring that additional lighting does not distract or impede the rider's visibility and vehicle operation.
