Purple lights allowed in funeral processions

The law lets funeral processions use flashing amber or purple lights. The lead vehicle can have the light. Other vehicles can have the light only if every vehicle in the procession has one. These lights may be used only while the vehicles are in the funeral procession. This adds purple to the prior amber-only rule.
