Maddy summaryOhio Senate Bill 467 amends state law to specify when police vehicles must be marked for traffic enforcement duties. It requires that any vehicle used by a peace officer primarily for enforcing motor vehicle or traffic laws, including those handling violations captured by photo-monitoring devices, must have distinctive markings equivalent to other local law enforcement vehicles. The bill also mandates that these vehicles be equipped with at least one external flashing light, though the light does not need to be active at all times. Additionally, it repeals a previous section of the code related to these vehicle requirements.
