SB 91 clarifies when county highway department vehicles can use blue lights by requiring drivers to be on duty and maintaining highways, or traveling to an emergency scene with written authorization. The bill removes language allowing general use of blue lights by county highway vehicles and instead aligns their authority more closely with specific job duties, matching the restrictions already applied to state Department of Transportation vehicles.
