Bill Summary
Relative to lights for ambulances, fire apparatus and law enforcement vehicles. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to allow manufacturers or distributors of flashing, rotating, or oscillating red or blue lights used by fire apparatus, ambulances, and law enforcement vehicles to mount or display such lights on their own vehicles for sales demonstrations. However, these demonstrations can only occur in specific circumstances, such as at the manufacturer's or distributor's own location, with prior approval from the local police chief, in an enclosed area, or in the presence of a law enforcement, fire, or emergency response agency representative. The bill also grants the registrar the authority to promulgate rules and regulations to implement these provisions.
