Troy's Law (HB 282) — which would allow tow and recovery vehicles to use front and rear rotating green lights when stationary on Kentucky highways — passed the House unanimously in March but has stalled in the Senate without advancing to a floor vote, according to Tri-State Homepage reporting from April 6. The bill is named for Troy Caldwell, a Kentucky tow operator killed in 2024; it gained renewed attention this spring after David Fischer was struck and killed on I-165 in March 2026.
Operator takeaway
A unanimous House vote was not enough — the Senate's failure to advance Troy's Law means Kentucky tow operators remain without statutory green-light authority. Towing associations in neighboring states tracking this bill for precedent now face a longer timeline.
