AB611,1,2
1An Act to amend 347.25 (3) of the statutes;
relating to: vehicles operated in a
2funeral procession.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law generally prohibits any vehicle from being equipped with a
flashing light. An exception to this prohibition permits the lead vehicle or a
motorcycle escort in a funeral procession to be equipped with a flashing amber light,
but the light may be used only when the vehicle is used as a lead vehicle or escort in
the funeral procession.
This bill also allows any vehicle being operated in a funeral procession to be
equipped with a flashing amber light if all vehicles in the procession are so equipped,
but the light may be used only in the funeral procession.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB611, s. 1
3Section
