Tennessee HB0442 allows antique emergency vehicles to use their sirens and emergency lights under certain conditions.

Tennessee HB0442 amends state law to allow the use of sirens and emergency lights on antique emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, fire department vehicles, and law enforcement vehicles, if they are representative of the era when the vehicle was made. To use these features, the vehicle owner must have written authorization from the local law enforcement agency or fire department and carry a copy of this authorization.
