Relates to certain crisis responders using a green light
This bill allows trained crisis responders helping veterans and first responders during mental health emergencies to display a green flashing light on their vehicles. The law defines these responders as individuals affiliated with recognized programs who have completed specific state-approved crisis intervention training. While the green light is intended to increase visibility and encourage other drivers to yield, it does not grant any special right-of-way privileges. The measure applies only when responding to active emergencies involving suicide prevention or mental health crises for the specified groups.
