Georgia SB569 amends motor vehicle laws to allow towing service companies to obtain emergency vehicle light permits under certain conditions.

Georgia SB569 amends Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to motor vehicles and traffic, to allow towing service companies to obtain emergency vehicle light permits. The bill specifies that a towing service company can qualify for such a permit if it participates in a towing and recovery program with the Department of Transportation or is authorized by contract with a local government to perform towing services. Additionally, the company must complete the minimum safety course requirements adopted by the commissioner of public safety.
