Provides for vehicles operated by canine search and rescue teams to be treated as emergency vehicles

Summary

The bill lets fire departments, ambulance associations, rescue squads and their canine search‑and‑rescue teams operate on Missouri roads as emergency vehicles. When responding to a fire, ambulance, or other emergency that requires search and rescue, they may use sirens and display flashing blue lights, but only with a written permit. Misuse of the lights or sirens would be a Class A misdemeanor.
