MOTOR VEHICLE – Amends existing law to provide for wildland fire agency or association vehicles in the definition of vehicle.

This bill amends Idaho Code §49-123 to update the definition of "authorized emergency vehicle." It specifically adds "vehicles belonging to or operated by a wildland fire agency or association while responding to a wildland urban interface fire" to the list of vehicles covered under emergency vehicle rules. This change directly affects wildland fire agencies and associations in Idaho by including their vehicles in the legal definition of emergency vehicles during fire responses. The amendment clarifies that these vehicles will be treated under the same traffic regulations as other emergency vehicles when responding to designated wildfires.
