AI Summary
This bill, known as Troy's Law, amends existing Kentucky law (KRS 189.920) to permit tow trucks, or "wreckers," to be equipped with flashing, rotating, or oscillating blue lights. These blue lights are to be used exclusively when the wrecker is stopped and actively engaged in removing a vehicle or debris from a highway, but they are prohibited when the wrecker is actively towing another vehicle. The bill also clarifies that these blue lights are in addition to the yellow lights already permitted on public safety vehicles.
