This bill updates South Dakota's rules for ambulance operators who want to use blue warning lights on their vehicles, requiring them to meet new certification standards outlined in the bill. Previously, ambulance operators could use blue lights if they were certified under state law, but now they must also satisfy additional requirements set in a new section of the law. The bill also clarifies which officials—including ambulance service directors—can authorize blue light use for their certified operators.
