Authorizes crisis responders assisting veterans and first responders in mental health emergencies to display a green flashing light.

These responders must be trained and affiliated with a recognized crisis-response program. The green light is intended to enhance visibility and promote public awareness, but it does not confer any special right-of-way privileges. Responders must adhere to all applicable rules and regulations governing volunteer emergency vehicle lighting. The act will take effect 90 days after becoming law.
