Legislation High urgency Kentucky

Troy's Law Passes Both Kentucky Chambers; Governor Beshear Has Until April 14 to Sign or Veto

Troy's Law (HB 282), which would allow tow trucks to use flashing green lights when stationary on a roadway while removing a vehicle or debris, passed the Kentucky House unanimously on March 3 and cleared the Senate before the legislature broke for its veto period on April 2, according to Spectrum News 1 and state legislative records. Governor Andy Beshear can sign or veto the bill when the legislature reconvenes April 14–15 — the bill is named for tower Troy Caldwell, killed on the job in September 2024.

Operator takeaway

If signed, Troy's Law gives Kentucky tow operators a statutory green-light visibility option on roadsides — and sets a template that state towing associations in neighboring states can adapt for their own legislative sessions.
