Troy's Law (HB 282), which would allow tow and recovery vehicles to use front and rear green rotating lights while stationary on Kentucky highways, failed to advance to a Senate floor vote before the 2026 legislative session's veto period closed, according to Tri-State Homepage. The bill passed the Kentucky House unanimously but was never taken up by the Senate — despite two tow operators dying on Kentucky highways in the months the bill was pending.
Operator takeaway
Kentucky tow operators remain without statutory green-light authority for at least another session. Towing associations in neighboring states tracking this bill for precedent should note that a unanimous House vote was not enough — Senate committee assignment is the pivot point to target.
