Committee advances bill allowing flashing red lights for certain Allegheny County probation vehicles
Summary
House Bill 2479, introduced by Rep. Dan Gogenhauer, was reported as committed after staff summarized that it authorizes flashing red lights on Allegheny County vehicles operated by 5th Judicial District certified armed probation officers; no amendments were filed and no negative votes were recorded.
The House Transportation Committee reported House Bill 2479 after a staff summary explaining the measure's narrow scope.
Kyle, a committee staffer, summarized that House Bill 2479 would authorize the use of flashing red lights on vehicles owned by Allegheny County and operated by 5th Judicial District certified armed probation officers. Kyle said this expands an authorization that currently applies only to armed probation officers in the City of Philadelphia.
The chair asked for questions and objections; none were raised. "Seeing none, House Bill 24 79 will be reported as committed," the chair said, formally recording the committee action.
The bill as described limits the authorization to a specific county and judicial district and does not include amendments or appropriation language in the committee discussion.
