MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Colored lights on motorcycles would be legal under a bill the state Assembly has passed. Current Wisconsin law prohibits operating a motor vehicle with lights other than white or amber in front and red in the rear. The bill’s Assembly sponsor, Republican John Jagler of Watertown, says colored LED lights are becoming more popular on motorcycles. Under the bill, people could equip their motorcycles with any color lights aside from red, blue or amber as long as they shine down and don’t flash or rotate. Jagler says he introduced the bill at the request of a constituent who got a ticket for violating current light prohibitions. He says more lights will increase motorcycle visibility. The Assembly passed the bill on a voice vote Tuesday. It goes next to the Senate.
