HB 1077 creates new rules allowing law enforcement officers leading funeral processions to ignore traffic signals and direct other vehicles to stop or proceed as needed to keep the procession moving safely. The bill defines what counts as a funeral procession (two or more vehicles including a hearse) and gives officers in marked emergency vehicles authority to manage traffic at intersections and make turns without regard to normal traffic laws.
