SB206 - An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Equipment And Construction Of Vehicles.
Brian Guy Pettyjohn, Spiros Mantzavinos, William J. Carson
Last updated 3 months ago
5 Co-Sponsors
Senate Bill 89 from the first half of the 152nd General Assembly allowed for state owned-and-operated vehicles used for snow removal to operate with green revolving or flashing lights during winter weather operations. This Bill extends the same use of green lights on municipal owned-and-operated snow removal equipment and vehicles during winter weather operations. Studies have shown green lights are more visible to the traveling public during winter weather conditions. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
