Blue Dot Taillight Bill
Reintroduced
in Mississippi
(H.B. 233) has been reintroduced in the
Mississippi State legislature that would allow antique vehicles and street
rods to display a blue, violet or purple light as part of the vehicle’s rear
stop lamps.
SEMA Urges You to Contact Your State
Legislators Immediately to Support
This Bill
Mississippi defines antique motor vehicles as those manufactured more than
25-years ago and street rods as modified vehicles produced by an American
manufacturer in 1948 or earlier and used as a safe, nonracing vehicle.
H.B. 233 recognizes that blue dot taillights have no detrimental impact on
safety.
H.B. 233 enables enthusiasts to modify their vehicles to recall in fine detail
the glory days of the hot rod era in America.
H.B. 233 follows in the tradition of similar laws enacted in other states,
including recently in Minnesota and Montana.
Contact your Mississippi State legislators in Jackson
to support this legislation. If you need assistance in determining who
your State Legislators are, please
