Emergency vehicles: blue warning lights.

Summary

The bill expands the list of peace officers who may display a steady or flashing blue warning light on their emergency vehicles to include parole officers, and clarifies the same for probation officers. To qualify, the officers must complete a state‑certified four‑hour classroom course on emergency‑vehicle operation. The change does not give them any new powers for high‑speed pursuits.
