Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would allow wrecker trucks to use flashing or rotating blue lights, but only while removing a vehicle or debris from a roadway. Once a wrecker is simply towing a vehicle, the blue light would have to be turned off. The change updates Kentucky's vehicle lighting rules to give wrecker operators a new visual signal during roadside removal work. Who it may affect: wrecker and towing operators, and drivers passing roadside recovery scenes.
