A bill to amend 1949 PA 300, entitled “Michigan vehicle code,” by amending sections 2 and 698 (MCL 257.2 and 257.698), section 2 as amended by 2011 PA 231 and section 698 as amended by 2020 PA 382.
This bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to provide that a vehicle that meets both of the following is defined as an authorized emergency vehicle whenever that term is used in the code: • The vehicle is owned by the Michigan Mutual Aid Box Alarm System, a public agency as that term is defined in section 2 of the Urban Cooperation Act.1 • The vehicle is operated during an interlocal emergency under an interlocal agreement under the Urban Cooperation Act.2 The code limits which vehicles are allowed to have or use flashing, rotating, or oscillating lights. The bill would amend these provisions to allow an authorized emergency vehicle owned by the Michigan Mutual Aid Box Alarm System and operated as part of an emergency response to be equipped with flashing, rotating, or oscillating red, white, amber, or green lights.
