An Act authorizing the city known as the town of Barnstable to use red lights on certain emergency response vehicles

Summary

The bill authorizes the town manager of Barnstable to designate specific town‑owned vehicles that can display flashing, rotating or oscillating red lights, but only when the town’s director of marine and environmental affairs, the harbormaster or their staff are responding to an emergency or alarm. Use of the lights requires a permit from the state registrar of motor vehicles and the town must keep an inventory of the authorized vehicles. The measure overrides existing state restrictions on red‑light use.
