Permits use of LED light in emergency warning lights.
This bill (A 3012) allows emergency vehicles in New Jersey to use LED lights in their warning systems, which were previously prohibited. It amends existing law to explicitly include LED as a permitted light type alongside strobe, halogen, and incandescent lights for low-profile warning light bars. The Motor Vehicle Commission must update its regulations to reflect this change while maintaining current rules limiting emergency lights to two per vehicle and specifying their placement. The bill takes effect three months after enactment.
