Update  January 2005

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
