Bill > AB302

This bill amends Wisconsin state law regarding authorized lights for vehicles in funeral processions by allowing the lead vehicle (or all vehicles in the procession if uniformly equipped) to use either a flashing amber light or a new option of a flashing purple light during the funeral procession. The proposed change expands the existing law that previously only permitted flashing amber lights, adding purple as an additional authorized color for these special vehicle lights. The bill is a focused, narrow amendment to section 347.25(3) of the Wisconsin statutes, which governs vehicle lighting during funeral processions. By introducing purple as an alternative to amber, the bill provides funeral procession organizers with more flexibility in signaling and identifying vehicles participating in the procession, potentially improving visibility and helping other drivers recognize and respect the funeral procession.
